2 1. Motivation and Outline Several empirical works have analyzed the determinants of being in informal sector. Most focus on the effect of socioeconomic factors such as level of education (Gallaway and Bernasek, 2002), area of residence (Sassen-Koob, 1989), income level, number of dependents (Schneider et al., 2001), skills acquired, and training undergone (Becker, 2004), and demographic factors, such as marital status (Schneider et al., 2001), age and sex (Becker, 2004, Loayza, 1996) tends to affect the choice to be in the informal economy. The most recent works has find that institutional factors can influence decisions to undertake activities in the informal sector such as corruption (Schneider and Enste, 2000; Ferraira-Tiryaki, 2008), Regulations and legislation ((Hart, 2012; Schneider et al., 2010) or tax burden ((Schneider and Enste, 2000; Ferraira-Tiryaki, 2008, Friedman and al, 2000, Frey and Torgler 2007). The existing literature, has failed to generate a consensus about the effect of institutional factors on the size informality, and studies still remain largely under-explored especially in the case of Arab countries. However, in the previous empirical studies, the institutional factors are using at macro level. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of institutional factor following microeconomic approach. We test the effect of trust in institutions on youth behavior in the decision to undertake activities in the informal sector in the case of Arab Region (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and Lebanon). Also we plane to conduct a comparative analysis between countries under study to check if young people in the region have similar levels of trust in institutions. Analyzing this effect is important in the Arab countries characterized by strong tensions in their labor market. Indeed, the latest social movements Arab spring supported by youth have shown the fragility of the labor market in these countries. In this paper we try to answer the following questions: - Are young people in the region having similar levels of trust in institutions? -What are the determinants of informality? 2
3 - Does Trust in institutions influence decisions of youth to undertake activities in the informal sector in the case in Arab countries? -Do determinants of informality differ across countries? The measurement of the trust institutions remains complex, it difficult to measure it directly by a single observed indicator. The most common way is measuring it by using several indicators. According to the literature, the concept was measured by the following five indicators: 1) trust in the parliament, 2) in politicians, 3) in political parties, 4) in the legal system, and 5) in the police (Daniele and Geys (2015), Oorschot, Roosma, & Gelissen(2014), Carlson(2016), Marien (2011)). The paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, we review the existing literature on determinant of informality, institutions and youth participation on labor market. Section 3 describes the data sources and methods adopted in our analysis. Section 4 discusses the descriptive results to contextualize and motivate our analyses. Section 5 presents our empirical results and simulations, and Section 6 finally concludes. Data We use The SAHWA Youth Survey which concern young people between 15 and 29 yearsold in Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia conducted amongst 10,000 young (2000 per country) between 2015 and The main topics under study in the SAHWA project are education, employment and social inclusion, political mobilization and participation, culture and values, international migration and mobility, gender, comparative experiences in other transitional contexts and public policies, and international cooperation. The survey contains items which measure respondents trust in the national parliament, politicians, political parties, the legal system, and police. Methodology and Analysis First, we start with descriptive analysis to analyze the situation of youth in labor market using household survey conducted by national statistics office and SAHWA data survey. Second, we use empirical methods to analyze the determinant of informality among youth including institutional variables. The main analysis consists of estimating a series of discrete choice 3
4 model (probit model and multinomial probit model) on polychotomous outcome variable indicating different labor market statuses, namely formal; informal voluntary choice and informal forced. The explanatory variables we include in these models are sociodemographic, human capital, household and regional characteristics and institutional factors. These models are estimated separately by country. Policy Implications This paper is particularly important for understanding the role of trust in institution in the explaining of vulnerability of youth in the labor market in Arab countries, and constructing policies to decrease participation in informal sector. A comparative policy perspective across countries will be particularly important.
