informal economy generates nearly 40% of the national income. mahalanobis.twoday.net Why? On average, setting up a business takes five days in the U.S., 19 days in Panama — the fastest in Latin America — 27 days in Mexico, 72 days in Peru and 152 days in Brazil, according to a World Bank study. In a region without unemployment insurance or food stamps, workers in the informal economy are not considered unemployed — they have to do something to put food on the table — but they are commonly underemployed, performing jobs that require little skill or training.
