Secondary-source excerpt (embedded): Development economists note that in many low- and middle-income countries, women's economic activity is concentrated in the informal economy—street vending, home-based piecework, domestic services, and small unregistered enterprises. These jobs can provide flexible entry into income-earning, but they often lack contracts, legal protections, childcare support, and access to credit or insurance. Because informal workers are frequently invisible in official statistics, their productivity and contribution to urban services and household survival strategies are underestimated, even as women shoulder significant unpaid care work alongside paid informal labor.
Which statement best reflects the excerpt's main claim about women's roles in economic development?
