Technical support on formalisation of the economy in Paraguay

This project aims at strengthening the institutional capacity of constituents to promote transition from the informal to the formal economy in Paraguay. ILO will help deepen the understanding of the causes and consequences of informality, especially in terms of social protection, and provide support for the development of an action plan to implement the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204). The project focuses on analysing and disseminating successful experiences for formalization targeting youth, domestic workers and persons with disabilities. It also includes a capacity building component for social partners and provides policy advice in terms of formalization of independent workers and micro-enterprises, through social dialogue. A specific objective of the intervention is to build the capacity of the social protection system in terms of affiliation of informal workers and compliance with the existing regulations.
