Informal labour in the construction industry in Kenya a case study of Nairobi

Presents findings of a study of construction workers in a low income settlement on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. Finds that workers are predominantly employed on a casual or temporary basis without contracts, and with unregulated terms and conditions of employment; workers have no protection from the law against dismissal and no social protection against sickness, old age or incapacity to work.
