Abstract

Dans le secteur informel, « on est ingénieux sans être ingénieur, industrieux sans être industriel, entreprenant sans être entrepreneur » (Latouche, 1996, p. 130). Le terme « informel » suggère en effet que ses acteurs ne relèvent pas des catégories socio-économiques classiques et en particulier des formes classiques de l'entrepreneuriat identifiées dans la littérature (de types schumpétérien ou kirznérien par exemple). Il soulève alors par là même nombre de questionnements sur les normes, logiques et dynamiques auxquelles répondent ces acteurs ou ces éventuels entrepreneurs. Questionnements d'autant plus importants que ledit « secteur informel » représente aujourd'hui une réalité massive et croissante à l'échelle non plus seulement des économies en développement mais aussi mondiale (Schneider, 2005 ; Charmes, 2009). On estime aujourd'hui que la contribution des activités informelles au produit intérieur brut des nations s'élève à plus de 40 % dans les pays en développement (PED), 38 % dans les pays en transition et 17 % dans les pays de l'OCDE.
