5 Countries with the Highest Informal Employment in the World

4. Mozambique

Proportion of Informal Employment in Total Employment (2015): 95.7% 

In 2016, a local startup, UX Information Technologies, launched the Biscate app in Mozambique. This app lets informal workers advertise their services and connect with potential clients. A World Bank analysis of the app revealed that workers were able to raise their profits by as much as 67% through the app. This is another example of how technology can enable informal workers to earn better.
