In urban conglomerates there are 21 million employed people, but only 6.6 million are formal workers in the private sector. In the country there are only six provinces where total formal employment does not reach 45% of the total number of employed people.
The province of Buenos Aires, the richest in Argentina, does not have even half of the workers in formal status. After twelve years of economic stagnation, the share of formal employment in the economically active population is regrettable, says economist Dante Sica.
