Abstract

This research presents a literature review about informal economy and women’s labor from structuralist, voluntarist, legalist and dualist schools’ authors. The objective is to enunciate some of the different doctrinal positions of the informal economy concept, the evolution of women’s labor and criticisms made to the concept of informality. The authors mentioned in this paper are current references in the matter because they are the most cited. The study concludes that some of them understand the phenomenon of informality as an involuntary refuge and others as an option to evade taxes.
