disagree  AllegroTrans: You have given 3 terms that are not anywhere synonyms
14 hrs
  -> I know that they are not synonyms, but I considered that they may refer to the foreign term "comersio informal", but may be included considerably more in this term. Posted link says a lot. Thank you for your attention.

disagree  Yvonne Gallagher: Constructive economy / Employment promotion are not synonyms or tranlations

disagree  Andrew Bramhall: with the other two;

agree  Robert Carter: Informal/grey/shadow economy are the synonyms. I don't understand why you would use those other terms (which, as the disagreeing posters rightly said, are wrong).
22 hrs
  -> Thank you very much. Primarily I thought about term - Informal economy. "Informal" and "Constructive" are using as synonyms sometimes, then I posted other two terms as some kind attachment. "Employment promotion" is implicit by the key term. Regards

shadow economy


Explanation:
A euphemism for "black market", a long-standing expression which is probably frowned upon nowadays in certain circles.

Example sentence(s):
  • Although exported legally, they end up on the black market and become a source of income
  • When goods become scarce, they frequently end up on the black market...

unofficial market


Explanation:
Hi! I've seen it translated like this in a newspaper in English here in Argentina.
I think they meant what in Argentina is called "economía popular", a kind of social economy in which cooperatives, and grassroots associations take part in.
