Currently, in the Republic of Moldova, approximately 192,000 people work informally, mainly in agriculture, construction and trade. These people do not benefit from social protection and are at risk of facing extreme poverty in old age. As a consequence of undeclared work, in 2022 there is a deficit of almost 5 billion lei in the social insurance budget, while total fiscal losses are estimated at 15 billion lei annually.

The international conference "Moldova turns white: solutions to encourage the transition to legal work" will focus on policy solutions and mechanisms to support employers in the process of transition to legal work.

The event will be attended by: the president of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu, ministers, representatives of the EU delegation, international organizations, experts from the country and abroad and representatives of the private sector with expertise and interest in this field.

The conference is structured in 4 discussion panels, as follows:

Addressing the problem of undeclared work through combined, balanced, but at the same time ambitious policies

Encouraging the transition to legal work in agriculture
Strengthening the capacity of the State Labor Inspectorate to detect undeclared work
Government financial incentives to promote legal work
