Pakistan's informal sector
研究了巴基斯坦非正规部门的主要特征，基于拉瓦尔品第市的数据发现实际工资和就业均增长，且正规与非正规部门工资差异小，反映劳动力高流动性。
This study reviews the main features of Pakistan's informal sector. The data on the informal sector, compiled from censuses and sample surveys in one major city (Rawalpindi), suggest that both real wages and employment have grown in the informal sector. The seeming paradox of real wage growth in a labor surplus economy is explained by real wage growth in both agriculture and large‐scale manufacturing, both of which were made possible by Pakistan's growth performance during the 1960s. The differences in wages between the formal and informal sector, after adjusting for age and education, are quite small, a reflection of high labor mobility between the two sectors.
