The Indian Informal Economy:An Industry Wise Perspective
Anushree Sinha

The initial initial expectation that the informal economy would wane away as an economy progresses, leading to a gradual and normal advancement of the formal economy is not seen as a possibility under the prevailing conditions ((Sinha and Adam (2000, 2006), Unni (2001), Harriss-White (2003), Jhabwala (2003) and Harriss-White and Sinha (2007)). On the other hand, with more modernization and globalization, informality seems to be even spreading. That is happening both in a situation when the formal segment of the economy is narrowing (as in the cases of Sub-Saharan Africa) and also where it is expanding (as in the case of the newly industrialized countries of Asia and Latin America). In case of the former situation, more individuals are pushed into informal activities as the formal work availability dries up, and in the latter situation, the direct and indirect demand generated from the formal sector from the ancillary industries, draws more individuals into the informal sector (Lubell, 1991). The view of the informal economy as an underground economy, detrimental to healthy growth in an economy, persisted in the earlier discussions. Such views changed with de Soto’s study on the informal sector “The Other Path” (de Soto, 1989).
