Abstract
Labour informality is one of the most serious challenges facing a developing economy like India with large-scale poverty and large decent work deficits. This study inspected possible heterogeneity within informal employment among the non-cultivator workers in India. Multinomial Logit was applied to find out the trends, patterns and determinants of participation in different components of informal employment. It found significant heterogeneity within the informal employment on poverty, age, gender, socio-religious communities, educational attainment, and industrial classification. The study found coexistence of both voluntary and involuntary nature of informality. Given the diversity of employment, the paper suggests a nuanced policy design for sustained and inclusive growth.
