• COVID-19 and undeclared work: impacts and policy responses in Europe (2020, background): “…that are not declared to the authorities in order to evade tax and social security contributions and/or labour laws (Aliyev, 2015; European Commission, 2016; Hodosi, 2015; Kedir et al., 2018; Littlewood et al., 2018; OECD, 2017; Williams, 2019a; Williams & Windebank, 1998; World Bank, 2019).”
