Informal Employment in Malaysia
This report aims to narrow the knowledge gap on informal employment in Malaysia, with the ultimate objective of suggesting policy recommendations to strengthen the protection and productivity of informally employed workers. Using a working definition of informal employment based on coverage by a pension, retirement savings, or employment injury insurance (see Section 2.6), this study analyzes the scale and trend of informal employment, the correlates of informal employment, the employment characteristics, and income of informally employed workers. Moreover, the study also analyzes the vulnerabilities associated with informal employment, the willingness to pay for social insurance, and the valuation of attributes of work by informally employed workers, based on data thatwas collected throughout the duration of the study.

Summary: | This report aims to narrow the
knowledge gap on informal employment in Malaysia, with the
ultimate objective of suggesting policy recommendations to
strengthen the protection and productivity of informally
employed workers. Using a working definition of informal
employment based on coverage by a pension, retirement
savings, or employment injury insurance (see Section 2.6),
this study analyzes the scale and trend of informal
employment, the correlates of informal employment, the
employment characteristics, and income of informally
employed workers. Moreover, the study also analyzes the
vulnerabilities associated with informal employment, the
willingness to pay for social insurance, and the valuation
of attributes of work by informally employed workers, based
on data thatwas collected throughout the duration of the study. |
