Trabajo informal

Trabajo informal refers to employment that is not officially registered or regulated by government authorities. It includes jobs without formal contracts, social benefits, or legal protections, often involving small-scale or self-employed activities like street vending, domestic work, or casual labor. While it provides income and flexibility, workers in this sector typically lack job security, health benefits, and labor rights. Informal work is common in many economies, especially where formal job opportunities are limited, and it plays a significant role in the livelihoods of many, despite its vulnerabilities and lack of formal recognition.
