摘要：The aim of this paper is to analyse financial gains as a motive for engaging in under-declared employment (choosing envelope wages) amongst youth population. A youth profile of those more likely to choose envelope wages for financial gains is proposed, based on socio-demographic characteristics. Reporting on a survey amongst 1,059 students and employing logistic regression analysis, the finding is that unmarried undergraduate students with a difficult financial situation are more likely to choose envelope wages for a higher cash-in-hand income. Various theoretical explanations and motivations for engaging in such noncompliant behaviour are then explored to test their validity for the youth population.
