Abstract

In this paper, we try to address the issue of “informal work” from a perspective that understands it as a form of reproduction of the labor force outside of capitalism. From this perspective, we criticize the view that defines it as opposed to what is considered “formal work” and emphasize the reproductive reality held by the so-called “informal sector”.

Keywords: informality, popular economy, social economy, labor force.
