Adopted by the 17th ICLS, these guidelines introduce a statistical framework that distinguishes between informal employment and employment in the informal sector. While the informal sector is defined by the characteristics of the production units, informal employment refers to the nature of the employment relationship itself, regardless of the type of enterprise. The guidelines provide definitions, classifications, and recommendations to support the collection of comprehensive and internationally comparable statistics on all forms of informal work.
