Which of the following statements about working in the informal employment sector is false? a. al sectors include illegal employment b. people who work in the informal sector face a higher risk of discrimination and poor treatment. c. there is little government oversight to ensure that workplaces are safe and all labor laws are followed. d. people working in the informal sector do not have to pay income taxes on their wages

The correct answer, the only option from all these that is a FALSE statement about the informal employment sector, is A: All sectors include illegal employment.

Explanation:

The reason for this being the correct answer comes from the definition itself of what informal working sector, or informal economy, is. In essence the informal economy, also known as the grey economy, is defined as an economic sector that is neither controlled, nor taxed, by governments, even though nowadays there have been greater measures to try and change this, especially to ensure the safety of those who work in it. Furthermore, it is a sector of the economy that does not add, or substract, from the gross national product (GNP), or gross domestic product (GDP). The issue of this type of labor has been a problem for countries, as in some areas it IS involved with illegal activities. But the truth is that, aside from thise criminal activities that sometimes make part of the sector, the informal employment sector has offered the poorest and least prepared people with opportunities to earn money and rise from poverty. So when the statement says that ALL sectors include illegal employment, this is false because not ALL are illegal. Many are legal and there is an effort on the part of governments to bring these legal sectors within the formal sector.
