Thus, informal employment causes the loss of income sources of the Social Security Organization Purpose: Due to the importance of the issue of lost financial resources for the Social Security Organization, in the present study, by calculating the amount of informal employment in economic sectors between 1392 and 1398, we try to estimate and analyze the lost financial resources due to informal employment. Method: For this purpose, using the expenditure and income data of households in the mentioned period and using the indicators of social insurance and the minimum legal wage, the amount of informal employment was measured in terms of regions and economic sectors, and the structure was analyzed. Then, using a descriptive method and applying the concept of expandable informal employment, the number of resources lost in the major economic sectors and related sectors was calculated provincially and nationally. Result: The results indicate that first, in the studied years, the share of informal employment in total employment has increased. Also, among the four major economic sectors, the agricultural sector has the highest number of informal employees. Second, the financial resources lost due to informal employment have decreased during this period. In addition, among the four major economic sectors, the industries and mines sector has got the most lost social security resources.
