Varying definitions of both make it difficult to compare research or draw clear policy conclusions. • Both irregular migration and informal work are hard to measure. This makes it especially difficult to accurately assess how they intersect. • This chapter presents a straightforward, flexible and scalable framework for estimating this overlap. Using data sources commonly available in many countries, it can generate plausible ranges for the number of irregular migrants working in the informal economy. eng Informal economy irregular migrants labour market estimation method Labour Force Survey 2025-09-30T11:10:36.603Z LOMv1.0 Author BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Salihoğlu;Aslı; FN:Aslı Salihoğlu X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7520-1937 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Vargas-Silva;Carlos; FN:Carlos Vargas-Silva X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0578-4775 END:VCARD https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/scheme https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/text Textdokument Text LOMv1.0 yes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 application/pdf 401603 https://door.donau-uni.ac.at/o:5691 https://door.donau-uni.ac.at/api/object/o:5691/thumbnail LOMv1.0 discipline
