The informal economy in Brazil reduced softly between 1992 and 2005, but in Paraná State was stronger the reduction. In the RNM, the ID reduced consistently, but the industrial sector showed ID´s growth , however, it was widely compensated by the agricultural sector, that does not reduced strongly the ID, but the participation in the total of occupations, caused by the closed of  occupations. In MR, the ID showed slow reduction. The construction sector had headway in the informality and the others sectors do not showed variation, except the services sector, that showed ID’s reduction. In Paraná State, GI reduced because the informality reduction in agricultural sector and also because structural changes.
