Diplômes et emplois informels au Niger : les enseignements de l'enquête nationale sur l'emploi et le secteur informel
Keywords:
informal employment, Probit, determinants, gender, educational attainmentAbstract
This article wants to identify the determinants of informal sector employment in Niger, with an emphasis on the effect of education towards types of diplomas. Using data based from the National Survey of Employment and Informal Sector (ENESI, 2012) of the National Institute of Statistics and by applying a Probit model, the article shows that workers who attended school, all levels combined, have more chance to leave the informal sector than those who have never attended school; better, this chance of exit from the informal sector is positively correlated to the diploma. Moreover, the more a father is educated, less his child gets employed in the informal sector. The father's education is also the main difference between urban and rural areas determinants of informal employment. Finally, the regions with a low schooling rate provide more informal activities.
