Abstract: Abstract Expansion of the informal sector has meant the introduction of new economic activities which are informal employment or are within informal sector along with a predominant process of shrinkage of the existing formal sector and conversion of the formal to informal.

The process of informalization has resulted in a continuumContinuum of labour relations which passed through various stages in institutional history.
