A economia informal é seguramente um dos grandes temas deste século. É um fenómeno cada vez mais frequente no mundo, principalmente nos países da África Subsariana. Na África Subsaariana o sector da economia informal advém em grande parte da má afectação dos recursos económicos e financeiros, tanto nacionais como provenientes do estrangeiro (comércio, investimentos ou ajuda), o que, em geral, teve como resultado, uma deficiente implementação das estratégias para o desenvolvimento e uma dificuldade acrescida da pretendida “modernização” do continente africano. Sendo assim, pretende-se analisar a economia informal antes de mais como “forma de sobrevivência” perante a ineficácia do Estado, a deficiência dos mercados internos, a falta de recursos humanos adequados e a fraqueza do tecido empresarial africano, procurando demonstrar que ela é menos uma causa do que uma consequência do não desenvolvimento. Tendo presente, as várias tentativas de aplicação de modelos económicos propostos pelo Banco Mundial e o Fundo Monetário Internacional, procurar-se-á averiguar igualmente até que ponto a falta de indústrias, a dificuldade de modernização e de políticas económicas adaptáveis as realidades africanas contribuem para a proliferação da economia informal.
The informal economy is certainly one of the major themes of this century. It is an increasingly widespread phenomenon in the world, mainly in Sub-Saharan African countries. In sub-Saharan Africa the informal sector of the economy stems largely from the misallocation of economic and financial resources, both national and from abroad (trade, investment or aid), which, in general, resulted in a poor implementation of strategies for the development and an increasing difficulty of the intended "modernization" of the African continent. Therefore, it is intended to analyze the informal economy first and foremost as "a means of survival" to the inefficiency of the State, the deficiency of internal markets, lack of adequate human resources and the weakness of African business, trying to demonstrate that it is less a cause than a consequence of not developing. Bearing in mind, the various attempts of applying economic models proposed by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, search will also investigate to what extent the lack of industry, of economic policies adaptable to African realities and the difficulty of modernization contribute to proliferation of the informal economy.
