The Hidden Economy in the UK | National Centre for Social Research
Working alongside HMRC, NatCen carried out a second wave of research into the Hidden Economy in the UK
natcen.ac.uk
There *is* a substantial "grey"/shadow economy in the UK! Up to 1 in 10 adults are estimated to participate (most on a relatively small scale).
To state the obvious, only a tiny % of this relates to irregular migrants.
