Global Informal Workforce
«The informal economy dominates employment and economic activity in many developing countries yet is often seen as a problem rather than a symptom of broader economic, social and institutional factors. This collection of research takes an in-depth look into understanding the causes and effects of informality and provides an inclusive framework for integration into the formal sector over time without compromising development objectives."" — Masood Ahmed, President, Center for Global Development
""Either we use the Covid-19 crisis to tackle informality head on or developing countries will face substantial social and economic turmoil in the years ahead. A window of opportunity has opened up to rethink labor markets, taxation, social protection, education and productivity to reduce informality. This pivotal book arrives right in time, with key insights for both policymakers and researchers on how to deal with these important issues."" — Alejandro Izquierdo, Deputy Director, Research Department, Inter-American Development Bank
""I am very excited about this volume, especially due to its broad but in-depth coverage of areas and policy issues that seem to crowd our policy direction as well as an understanding of the structure of the economies and markets. Understanding the informal economy and the informal markets would provide the key to the appropriate policy and administrative interventions to support this segment of the economy and markets."" — Njuguna Ndung'u, Executive Director, African Economic Research Consortium, former Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya»
