informal economies provide much - needed work to low - income households, but these workers tend to earn very little and lack access to many legal protections and services.

for two decades, gerardo has owned and operated a popular twenty - table restaurant near a university in milan.

Explanation:

1. The first statement describes positive and negative impacts of informal economies on workers, so it falls under social consequences.
2. The second statement clearly defines what an informal economy is, so it belongs to definitions.
3. The third statement is a specific real-world instance of an informal, untaxed/untracked exchange, so it is an example.
4. The fourth statement describes a formal, established business that is regulated and taxed, so it is an example of a formal economy (fitting the examples section).
