selamat malam semuanya, mau nanya, sektor informal itu apa ya? yang saya baca di Varia Statistik, 2001 mengartikannya sebagai suatu pola pencarian nafkah "seadanya" demi mempertahankan hidup. ngemis bisa dibilang sektor informal, mreman (mungli) juga, jualan tahu di biskota juga, jualan ganja juga sektor informal (ilegal?) jadi ini kan nggak ada parameter yang jelas. Ketika harus diakomodasi dalam RUTR, sektor informal yang macam mananya, mungkinkah kayaknya perlu ada aturannya (kesepakatannya) dulu, gitu? Atau mungkin yang dimaksud dengan sektor informal dalam uu kita adalah salah satu bentuk usaha di sektor informal yaitu usaha kaki lima?
