“…Over the past decade, a new sub-field of entrepreneurship scholarship has emerged that focuses upon understanding and explaining the relationship between entrepreneurship and the informal sector (Aidis et al, 2006;Bureau and Fendt, 2011;Coletto and Bisschop, 2017;Kus, 2014;Mróz, 2012;Ram et al, 2017;Webb et al, 2009Webb et al, , 2013Williams, 2018).
