Gender, Informality and Poverty

By on January 01, 1998

This is a draft version of the study undertaken within the framework of a collaboration between the World Bank (Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Department) and WIEGO, Women in Informal Employment: Globalising and Organising, a global coalition, launched in 1997 under the initiative of SEWA (India), UNIFEM and HIID during July-October 1998. The main purpose of the study is to review the evidence available from countries as well as other studies at the regional and global level on women and their involvement in the so called informal sector, and the implications for poverty. There is indeed a vast literature pertaining to women and the informal sector. This review draws upon this literature as well as other published and unpublished empirical research and data sources from countries, covering the period after 1970 but mostly the 1980s and early 1990s.
