In those cases where no action is taken against such work, this may be because unemployment is high and poor people have no alternative to being exploited by employers who do not declare their employees.
I de tilfælde, hvor man ikke griber ind over for sort arbejde, kan det skyldes, at arbejdsløsheden er høj, og at fattige mennesker ikke har noget alternativ til at blive udnyttet af sorte arbejdsgivere.
