Percentage of informal workforce in food production

Level StateAnnual

Definition​

Informal work occurs when a worker is not recognized as such by their employer or is providing services without registration with the federal government. Informal work is a social problem because it is characterized by precarious working conditions. This indicator measures the percentage of workers in informal conditions in agriculture, livestock, fishing, and forestry.

Interpretation​

Higher values ​​for this indicator point to a greater chance of disrespect for labor rights in food production and, consequently, to less sustainability of the social aspect of the food system.
