Abstract: With the transformation of China’s economy from high-speed growth to high-quality development,informal economy plays an increasingly prominent role in promoting employment. By compiling input-output tables including the informal sectors from 2002 to 2017, this paper measures the direct and indirect effects of five informal sectors on employment in China. The results show that:1) the direct contribution of informal sector to employment is higher than that of formal sector in all the 5 industries. The employment effect of the informal sector in the tertiary industry, such as wholesale, retail, accommodation and catering, is higher than that in the secondary industry such as manufacturing and construction.2) The indirect contribution of manufacturing and construction to employment is higher than that of the tertiary industry represented by wholesale, retail, accommodation and catering due to the backward linkage.3) The indirect contribution of informal sector to employment is mainly concentrated in agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale, retail,accommodation and catering, leasing and business services. While the employment performance in construction, transportation, warehousing, postal service and other services for residents is not optimistic.4) From the dynamic point of view, the direct and indirect contribution of informal sector to employment in the five industries shows a downward trend in the sample period.
