Such an approach requires careful co-ordination of EPL and other policies, especially unemployment benefits, income support, and active labour market policies (OECD, 2006). However, since the objective is to narrow the disparities in social protection and labour market outcomes between formal and informal workers, what needs to be found are viable social protection instruments for incorporating informal workers into the social security system without creating adverse incentives for their labour market behaviour, whether participation or formality. Informality compounds the challenge of flexicurity in developing countries given the difficulties in promoting social protection instruments that can adequately incorporate informal workers.
