Paragraph
Paragraph text
Though there are regional variations, women are more likely than men to work within the informal economy than in the formal economy. And, like the formal economy, the informal economy is highly segmented in terms of gender. Approximately two-thirds of all female workers in the developing world work in the informal economy (not including agriculture). Moreover, women earn less than men, and are in lower paid and less skilled jobs.
