Abstract

Althout, scientific interest in the informal economy is from a recent date, there are already serious analyzes that define its forms, as well as standardized methods that measure its scope. In this text we will point out some theoretical dilemmas concerning informal economy as a sector emebeded deeply in the society as a whole. The informal economy sector can be understood as a rational response by people to the way of life, the environment, the way in which the institutions work, the economic development of society or the culture itself - despite the fact that some consequences have an irrational character (exploitation, discrimination, violation of human rights and freedoms). Special attention is paid to political clientelism and corruption as forms of informal economy with a special focus on the situation in R. of Macedonia.
