Argentina informal employment hits 45% of independent workers, 80% in some sectors

A Universidad Nacional de Rosario study using INDEC's EPH data shows informal employment among independent workers reaches 45% nationally and up to 80% in certain areas, with domestic service and construction most affected. This underscores persistent labor-market precarity in Argentina, which may weigh on consumer demand and fiscal revenues. The data is from a single academic study, so corroboration with official statistics is pending.
