Abstract: This document analyzes the inverse causality between poverty and informality in the Dominican Republic, in addition to evaluating the impact of socioeconomic and demographic factors on individuals that affect both variables. The National Labor Force Survey (ENFT) is used in the years (2010, and 2016). Probabilistic regression models’ "Probit" with instrumental variables are used to identify the causal effects. The results agree with the literature; indicating that poverty and informality are concentrated in the less educated groups with occupational skills, especially in rural areas. In addition, small companies request to be more likely to offer informal jobs.
