Résumé 0

"This paper seeks to analyze the evolution of labor informality in Ecuador during the corona-virus. The analysis uses microdata from household surveys for 2019 and 2020 to contrast the evolution of informality rate and income. A wage decomposition model is used to estimate the variation in income between the two periods. The results show an annual drop of 11 % in the informal population working a year ago; however, the informality rate rose by 2%. This behavior is contextualized by a 20 % decrease in the hours worked per week and a 29 % in hourly labor income."
