Globalization and informal jobs in developing countries : A Joint Study of the International Labour Office and the Secretariat of the World Trade Organization

Marc Bacchetta

This study focuses on the relationship between trade and the growth of the informal economy in developing countries. Based on existing academic literature, complemented with new empirical research by the ILO and the WTO, the study discusses how trade reform affects different aspects of the informal economy. It also examines how high rates of informal employment diminish the scope for developing countries to translate trade openness into sustainable long-term growth.
