abstract = {We  examine  the  role  that  informal  sector  employment  plays  in  poverty  reduction  using  data  from  the  National  Income  Dynamics  Study  (NIDS).  Using  a  Shapley  decomposition  approach,  wefind  that  government  transfers  and  formal  sector  jobs  are  the  dominant  drivers  of  aggregate  poverty  reduction.  Informal  sector  jobs  currently  play  a  limited  role  in  poverty  reduction  at  the  national  level.  This  is  primarily  driven  by  the  fact  that  there  are  relatively  few  informal  sector  jobs  compared  to  formal  sector  jobs.  On  a  per-job  basis,  the  poverty  reduction  associated  with  formal  sector  jobs  and  informal  sector  jobs  is  quite  similar.  The  poverty  reduction  associated  with  one  informal  sector  job  is  generally  between  50  to  100  per  cent  of  the  poverty  reduction  associated  with  one  formal  sector  job  (depending  on  the  poverty  measure,  poverty  line  and  year  chosen).  Therefore,  from  a  poverty  reduction  standpoint,  policy  makers  are  encouraged  to  view  job  gains  and  losses  in  the  informal  sector  approximately  on  par  with  gains  and  losses  of  formal  sector  jobs.},
