In 2022, the percentage of informal employment in Paraguay stood at almost 68 percent of the total employed population, after an almost continuous downward trend since 2010 until 2019. This means that almost seven every ten workers in the country are considered informally employed. Still, a few other Latin American countries register higher levels of informal employment than Paraguay.
