abstract: 'The COVID-19 pandemic appears to unevenly harm those in informal

  employment, who are less frequently assisted by the government than

  those in formal employment. The purpose of this essay is to carry out a

  reflective analysis on employment in the informal economy in times of

  the pandemic caused by COVID 19. The methodology is based on a

  documentary research, in which various documentary sources such as

  articles published in magazines were taken into consideration scientific

  reports and reports from international organizations, in order to

  document the problem; Among the main authors for documentary development

  are Williams and Horodnic (2016a, 2016b), ILO (2014), ILO (2015) and

  Webb et al., (2020). The pandemic has important short- and long-term

  effects on informal employment and the informal economy. The COVID-19

  pandemic could accelerate current trends and force new solutions to

  preserve basic job security while helping organizations remain

  competitive. Government policies that promote job security of income,

  movements toward employment formalization, and equity for informal

  employees are peculiarly significant. The results propose that

  governments should carefully consider clear support for those in

  informal jobs to create fair, resilient and ethical structures for

  workers, industries, economies and society in general. The conclusions

  are that the reengineering of the post-pandemic economy can lead to a

  reconsideration of widely used employment practices that tend to reduce

  the conditions of workers and the protection of health, in order to

  obtain a competitive advantage.'
