This article examines the issues of expanding the coverage of the social protection system through the reduction of informal employment. The study applies econometric and statistical analysis methods to identify the relationship between the level of informal employment and the coverage of social protection. The findings indicate that reducing the informal sector enhances the sustainability of the social protection system and contributes to an increase in government budget revenues.
