The informal economy is not ignored. #statssa produces several statistical products that measure this sector, including the Quarterly Labour Force Survey(QLFS), and the Survey of Employers & Self-Employed (SESE). The informal sector is measured, tracked and reported on consistently, and if anything the insights these reports provide should guide and enrich policy, not distort it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOsOexJcEMU #zaunemployment #govzaupdates
