Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the research field of undeclared work patterns, highlighting the evolution of the literature and the directions and ramifications of possible future research. A mapping process is used as a tool in investigating scientific knowledge. To establish the temporal evolution of the undeclared work patterns research domain in terms of publications, we extracted articles from Scopus published between 1971 and 2022. The keywords used in the search query were undeclared employment, undeclared wages, envelope wages, undeclared work, and informal employment. We investigated 916 documents, with the focus point being on the author, paper, keyword, and journal. The subject areas of the investigated journals were social sciences, economics, econometrics and finance, business, management, and accounting. The empirical findings emphasize that C. Williams, I. Horodnic, J. Windebank, S. Nadin, F. Schneider, J. Franic, P. Adair, and H. Lehmann are the reference authors for the whole spectrum of undeclared work. Finally, the Indian Journal of Labour Economics, World Development, International Labour Review, International Journal of Sociology and Social Politics, Journal of Development Economics, and Review of Development Economics are the most prolific journals in the field.
