#MintCharts | The 2021-22 and 2022-23 reports of the Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises, released by the government last week, show that the informal sector shrank both in terms of output and #Workforce during the seven years ended 2022-23.
The sector had 111.3 million workers in 2015-16, a sharp rise from 108 million in the 2010-11 edition of the report. But as the informal sector shrank in size in the seven years that followed, the number fell to 109.6 million by 2022-23.
This was chiefly due to a decline in the size of the informal #Manufacturing sector, while trade and other services saw increases.
