Rethinking the Informal Economy: From Enterprise Characteristics to Employment Relations

By on January 03, 2003

This paper seeks to explore two challenges posed by the growth in the informal economy and in labor market informalization more broadly. The first is the challenge posed to conventional labor law and labor economics by the fact that informal employment and production relations are on the rise everywhere, albeit in different guises. The second is the challenge posed to conventional poverty reduction strategies that are focused on social policies, by the fact that there is a link between working in the informal economy and being poor.
