Is informal normal? : towards more and better jobs in developing countries ; [an OECD Development Centre perspective]

Development Centre of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Ed. by Johannes P. Jütting and Juan R. de Laiglesia

The informal sector deprives states of revenues and workers of social protection. It also, however, frequently constitutes the most dynamic part of the economy and creates massive employment. Informal employment is ubiquitous and growing. The financial crisis that began in 2008 has made the management of informal employment even more challenging. Responding to this emerging challenge is critical, not only for the well being of millions of workers but also for social development. This publication provides evidence for policy makers on how to deal with this issue of crucial importance for developing and developed countries alike. This book includes StatLinks, URLs linking charts and graphs to Excel files containing the data.--Publisher's description
