| Definitions |
The share of people employed in the informal sector is calculated by dividing the number of people employed in the informal sector by the total number of people employed, as a percentage |
| Concepts |
Informal sector workers are persons who, during the survey period, were employed in at least one of the production units of the informal sector, regardless of their employment status and whether this job was their main or additional one. The criterion of absence of state registration as a legal entity has been adopted as a criterion for determining the units of the informal sector. The employed population is a part of the workforce, which includes those who during the period under review: - performed work (at least 1 hour per week) for hire for remuneration in cash or in kind on a full-time or part-time basis, as well as not for hire for profit or family income, regardless of the timing of remuneration or income for their activities; - temporarily absent from work due to illness or injury, nursing, annual leave or days off, compensatory leave or time off, compensation for overtime or work on holidays (weekends), work on a special schedule, being on standby, statutory maternity and child care leave, training, retraining outside of one’s workplace, study leave, leave without pay or with pay at the initiative of the administration, strike, and other similar reasons; - worked as helpers at an enterprise owned by a member of the household or a relative. |
| Rationale and interpretation |
The purpose of this indicator is to identify the proportion of people employed in the informal sector. An enterprise belongs to the informal sector if it fulfills the following three conditions: It is not an incorporated enterprise (it is not a legal entity separate from its owners, and it is owned and controlled by one or more members of one or more households, and is not a quasi-corporation: it does not have a complete set of accounts, including balance sheets); It is a market-based enterprise (it sells at least some of the goods or services it produces); the enterprise is not registered or the employees of the enterprise are not registered or the number of permanent employees is below the threshold set by the country. |
| Method of computation |
The share of people employed in the informal sector = (employment in the informal sector) / (Total employment in the economy) x 100 |

| Data collection methods |
The population survey is conducted by interviewers by directly visiting households and recording information in a tablet on sample survey questionnaires approved by the Resolution of the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic. During a direct visit to the household, answers to the questionnaire questions can be obtained both from the respondent himself or from the words of cohabiting household members in the absence of the respondent at the time of the survey. 5,016 households were selected for the survey on a quarterly basis. The annual sample rotation is 25 percent. |
