Thinking about undeclared work and grey economy, this paper brought us to the conclusion: undeclared work is a part of our everyday lives. Undeclared work is multi-faceted. It ranges for example from occasional baby-sitting work in the neighborhood to the construction of entire buildings with professionally organized network of undeclared workers. In this paper was used desk research. The case of undeclared work was analyzed using data obtained from the European Survey called “Eurobarometer” and other literature, which has led us to the following conclusions. Many studies have shown that undeclared work is associated with horrible working conditions, fewer opportunities of promotion and insufficient social protection. There are many downsides with numerous consequences which play an important role in the quality of someone’s life. Despite all known weaknesses of undeclared work, there are still many individuals who made a decision to be a part of this undeclared world. Main conclusion of this report is that every individual who works as undeclared worker or buys undeclared goods or services should be aware of the consequences that such actions bring. KEY WORDS: undeclared work, grey economy, unemployment, social distress, Eurobarometer.

POSITIVE CONSEQUENCES For those involved in it know that it might bring financial and economic advantages. In addition, an individual is able to effectively use his or her own intellectual abilities which he or she cannot do in formal employment. In addition to the economic advantage there is also a non-economic satisfaction brought by development and application of his or her own ideas and responsibilities. Many find this type of business a survival tool because they do not have the opportunity to get a formal employment. The market and the country do not provide enough jobs that would offer a paycheck for survival so from this perspective we are not in position to judge the ones that work like this in order to plainly survive.
Money is the foremost incentive why infinite people work around the world. There are unequal classifications of jobs that contain more physical labor or deskwork.

In the eyes of the employees, being paid in cash is a major relief as it provides them with a tax free income and the opportunity to not file tedious tax return forms (Kwong, 1997). For employers, cash payments become a means for controlling the employees. An example would be when an immigrant working for cash who wants to sponsor a family member to the country (Kwong, 1997). Doing so would require demonstrated ability of the applicant to support the newcomer. In addition, the applicant would have to provide proof that there is employment available for the newcomer. Both these...

One of the single most important features of industrial productivity and technical progress is the concept of division of labour. Division of labour is the breaking down of a work process into a number of tasks, with each task performed by a separate person or group of persons. It is most often applied to systems of mass production and is one of the basic organising principles of the assembly line. Breaking down work into simple, monotonous tasks removes any pointless motion and limits the handling of different tools and parts. The term `Labour` refers to any kind of physical or mental work which involves the provision of a product or service and does not just apply to paid work, it can also be in the home. This unpaid work is done by family members to maintain a household and unpaid domestic work has usually been done by women, e.g., wives and mothers. Their work may include cooking, cleaning, raising children, or managing household expenses. Social division of labour in a capitalistic society allocates certain sorts of tasks to certain sorts of people, in ways that are not equal, i.e. according to skills or labour power, i.e. who does the physical work versus factory owners, industrialists who own the product and make a profit. This refers to the separation of activities between individuals within society and is often linked to the existence of classes and gender. This continues to happen despite equality legislation; paid work has increased over time and is oft...

In 1997, thirty percent of workers were employed in non-standard work arrangements ("HomelessnessÉ"). These consist of independent contracting, working for temporary help agencies, day labor and regular part-time employment. This type of work typically offers lower wages, fewer benefits and less job security. The underemployment rate stands substantially higher than the unemployment rate. Measures of underemployment reflect not only individuals who are unemployed, but also involuntary part-timers that want to work full-time.
In the book Outliers, and in the articles, “Meaningful Work”, “Do, Just, Do: A Journey to Meaningful, Satisfying work”, and “ You Wont Find Meaningful work Looking Outside Yourself”, The authors Malcolm Gladwell, Michael F. Steger, Lori Deschene, and Keven wood describe what the joy of meaningful is to them.Life is what you make of it and it’s and up to you to decide what you will get out of it. Some people may work eight hour shifts Monday through Friday miserable, exhausted, depressed, unhappy, and under a lot of pressure and stress from their jobs. Others may do the same, similar, or different jobs being comfortable, happy with life, and pleased with their job position. Your job should be one of the most important things to you because you are there on average forty hours a week and most of your time is spent there. It should be important that you enjoy what you do because it is practically your second home. Meaningful work is a job you enjoy doing, are compassionate about, never tired of, and do for the fulfillment of yourself , it is important to success because if one enjoys what they do opportunities in their career path will only expand.
Unemployment is a macroeconomic factor that is pertinent to an extensive economy at a regional level. Therefore it affects a large population rather than a few select individuals. Unemployment does not only have social costs, but economic costs too. The ILO, International Labour organization, defines unemployment as, ''People of working age, who are without work, but available for work and actively seeking employment.'' Therefore implying that it is a state of an individual looking for a job but not having one. Unemployment is one of the key indicators in determining the economic stability of a country; hence governments, businesses and consumers closely monitor it. There are numerous aspects that might lead to unemployment such as labour market conflicts and recessions in the economy. There are two main types of unemployment, which can be focused on, seasonal and cyclical unemployment. Seasonal unemployment occurs when a person is unemployed or their profession is not in demand during a particular season. On the contrary, cyclical unemployment occurs when there is less demand for goods and services in the market so consequently supply needs to be decreased.
