Paragraph text
The informal sector includes casual and seasonal workers, part-time workers, temporary and agency workers, home workers, domestic workers, unpaid family workers and also some forms of self-employment, such as street hawkers. Informal employment is growing in both developing and developed countries: the workforce is becoming increasingly "flexibilized" as employers attempt to avoid regulation and cut labour costs.
