The Informal sector is an economic activity that is neither taxed nor monitored by a government; and is not included in that government’s Gross National Product (GNP); as opposed to a formal economy. It refers to very small-scale units producing and distributing goods and services, and consisting largely independent, self employed producers in urban areas of developing countries.

It has been on a progressive increase for the past few decades, but has worsened with the number of graduates churned out annually by the universities and other higher degree awarding institutions.
