Globalization and the Informal Economy: How Global Trade and Investment Impact on the Working Poor
The present paper, Globalization and the Informal Economy: How Global Trade and Investment Impact on the Working Poor, has been prepared by Marilyn Carr, Institute of Development Studies, Sussex, and Martha Alter Chen, Harvard University. It seeks to pull together existing empirical evidence on globalization and the informal economy with a special emphasis on women workers and producers. It shows how globalization tends to lead to shifts from secure to insecure forms of employment and to more precarious forms of self-employment. It also recognises that globalization can indeed lead to new opportunities in the form of new jobs for wage workers and new markets for the self-employed.
