BPS states that workers in this sector are very vulnerable.

"People working in informal activities are generally workers who lack social protection, legal basis for work, or decent wages," wrote BPS in its report.

The calculation of the proportion of the population working in informal activities is the number of people working in informal activities divided by the number of working people, multiplied by 100%. This report is included in the *Decent Work Indicators in Indonesia 2022*.
