Esta revisión de la literatura, que analiza 52 referencias clasificadas entre artículos de revistas, capítulos de libros, informes, libros, páginas web y tesis, examina la informalidad laboral y la economía no observada en la República Dominicana. La informalidad laboral afecta a entre el 55.0% y el 58.0% de los trabajadores, influida por factores como la educación, el género y las barreras institucionales, con un impacto desproporcionado en las mujeres, quienes enfrentan mayores riesgos de pobreza. Los estudios revisados también destacan que la informalidad es procíclica, actuando como amortiguador económico en tiempos de crisis, como ocurrió durante la pandemia de COVID-19, que agravó su impacto negativo en la recaudación fiscal. Por otro lado, la economía no observada, estimada en un rango entre el 35.5% y el 38.0% del PIB, comparte varias causas con la informalidad, incluidas las barreras regulatorias, la evasión fiscal y la incapacidad del mercado formal para absorber toda la oferta laboral. Esta conexión entre ambos fenómenos refleja la interrelación entre el sector laboral informal y la economía subterránea, donde las deficiencias estructurales en el marco institucional fomentan ambos.
This literature review, analyzing fifty-two references classified among journal articles, book chapters, reports, books, websites, and theses, examines labor informality and the underground economy in the Dominican Republic. Labor informality affects between 55.0% and 58.0% of workers, influenced by factors such as education, gender, and institutional barriers, disproportionately impacting women, who face higher risks of poverty. The reviewed studies also highlight that informality is procyclical, acting as an economic buffer in times of crisis, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated its negative impact on tax collection. Meanwhile, the underground economy, estimated to range between 35.5% and 38.0% of GDP, shares several causes with informality, including regulatory barriers, tax evasion, and the formal market's inability to absorb the entire labor supply. This connection between both phenomena reflects the interrelationship between the informal labor sector and the underground economy, where structural deficiencies in the institutional framework fuel both.
