Greek term or phrase: Παντού στην πόλη βρίσκονται διάσπαρτοι θύλακες «άτυπης» εργασίας.
Καλησπέρα συνάδελφ@, το απόσπασμα αποτελεί μέρος μιας ομιλίας για την δραστηριοποίηση των γυναικών στον χώρο της εργασίας. Πώς μπορεί να αποδοθεί το θύλακες άτυπης εργασίες. H ακριβής μετάφραση "enclaves of atypical work" φαίνεται αδόκιμη.
Ευχαριστώ!

English translation:Everywhere in the City there exist scatterred sources of informal/ casual work
Explanation:
Θα έλεγα, το 'θύλακες (groups/ pockets) να το αποδόσεις ως 'sources', οπωσδήποτε, όμως, όχι 'enclave', το οποίο έχει την έννοια κλειστού χώρου. Και το 'pockets of ....work' πάει, αλλά θεωρώ το 'sources' καλύτερο.
