Description

Product Description This Research Handbook on Development and the Informal Economy captures the magnitude of the informal economy for the global labour force. It unravels numerous concepts, definitions and methods of data collection to offer valuable insight into the differences between the informal, non-observed and shadow economies. Situating the concept of the informal economy within the evolution of development theories, strategies and thinking over the past 50 years, this Research Handbook also explores the future direction of the informal economy. Chapters consider recent debates around the transition from the informal to the formal economy, a transition which would reshape the social contract between people and state. Expert international contributors examine a range of policies, actions, regions and groups of vulnerable workers to uncover which forms of organisation will lead to more power, recognition and sustainable livelihoods for the working poor. They also analyse how innovation, knowledge co-production and technological change at a grassroots level can improve the working and living conditions of the informal worker. This Research Handbook maps the changing landscape of the informal economy and will be an essential resource for academics, researchers and students in the fields of development studies, economics and international studies. Review 'Jacques Charmes and Edward Elgar Publishing are to be warmly congratulated for this Handbook, which reflects on 50 years of academic discussion on the informal economy, and offers us new insights and inspiration for the next 50 years of such work.' --Simon McGrath, University of Nottingham, UK'This Research Handbook on Development and the Informal Economy is a landmark volume offering a uniquely comprehensive overview of the informal economy across the global landscape. Expertly edited by Jacques Charmes, the volume is international in coverage and exhaustive in scope. Bringing together a global roster of authors and many of the leading authorities on the subject, the individual chapters address the multi-faceted dimensions in an expert manner, and collectively cover all the important issues arising from the persistence of the informal economy globally. It is a timely and authoritative Handbook, offering cutting-edge analysis and reflection, and is an essential read for students, academics and practitioners.' --Colin C. Williams, University of Sheffield, UK About the Author Edited by Jacques Charmes, Emeritus Researcher, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, Centre Population et Développement (Ceped), University Paris Descartes, France
