This study aims to analyze the employment of youth in the informal sector. From the results of this study, it was found that young people who participated in the informal sector were motivated by the enthusiasm to try independently, be free, and not under pressure from others. Besides, the informal sector is also in demand by youth because the informal sector is very easy to enter and flexible. To start a business in the informal sector also does not require large capital so that in the informal sector, the use of capital from personal savings is becoming increasingly common. The informal sector, which has been categorized as a lower-class economic sector and the poor are now being cultivated and managed by a middle-to-high-educated middle class indicating a shift in the informal sector, where the informal sector is associated with poor and uneducated people or low education. The sector which was once filled with uneducated residents is currently filled with middle-to-high-educated residents as a result of the development of education, which is not balanced by the development of employment. ## Keywords - Informal sector - Enthusiasm - Middle class - Informal education - Business - Economic growth - Economic sector - Business sector - Labour economics - Economics - Higher education - Economy - Market economy - Psychology - Social psychology --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
