This paper analyses informal-sector employment in Bosnia and Herzegovina, using data from the Living Standards Measurement Studies. It assesses how and why people move from the informal to formal employment sectors and what effect this has on their economic and personal well-being. The paper also looks at earnings inequality in the informal sector, and compares this with the formal sector. Finally it examines how informal employment affects people's life satisfaction.
