Abstract: This approach focuses specifically on the behaviour of the economy, that is, its economic structure, with particular emphasis on the formal and informal sectors. Thus, the evidence points specifically to the plausible existence of an informal economy in Angola, the significance of which is in fact closely linked to the very nature of the determining factors that are, by their very nature, relevant. A key feature of the informal economic structure relates, above all, to the fact that there is, for example, a limited capacity on the part of the state to generate wealth, as evidenced by significant tax losses; for instance, Angola incurs an annual tax loss of 6.9 billion dollars. On the other hand, however, it nevertheless represents a significant opportunity cost in terms of public policy; thus, the analysis suggests that, to the extent that there is a substantial expansion of the informal economy, on the other hand, there is a particular trend towards the continuous emergence of new informal professions. Informal markets exhibit characteristics that are specific to them; for example, most informal workers do not have fixed monthly incomes, and income levels depend directly on daily informal economic activities. Thus, the greater the flow of informal economic activities, the higher the income levels of economic agents will naturally be. On the other hand, approach show in particular, that, many Underdevelopment Countries, they not give attention to informal economy, where, on majority of this countries see the informal economy as statistics, the politics and institutions not exist in these Countries, in particular.
