EMPLOYMENT IN SHADOW ECONOMY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC: ESTIMATION USING THE LABOUR APPROACH
Original language description
The main aim of this paper is to empirically estimate amount of employed persons in the shadow economy. In the literature, there exist a few methods to estimate the size of the shadow economy. The labour approach method, used in estimating the size of employment in the shadow economy in Czech Republic in this paper, assumes that the official rate of labour participation (activity rate) is constant, any change being considered to be due to activities from shadow economy. The results revealed the inverse relationship between activity rates and employment in the shadow economy, as was expected. If the rate of activity increases, employment in the shadow economy decreases. The lowest activity rates were detected from 2008 to 2011. In the same period was the amount of the employment in the shadow economy highest. Specifically there was activity rate around 58,5 % with 267 thousand persons employed in the shadow economy in 2008. By 2011, the activity rate fell to 58,3 % with 291 thousand persons employed in the shadow economy.
