Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lack of housing for the poor is one of the most urgent and formidable problems that developing nations face today. The present policies of donor agencies and of governments themselves favour the self help approach and encourage the poor to seek their own housing solutions. But in spite of the rigorous attempts of developing countries the problem of the provision of low-income housing remains unsolved. Considering, the high population growth rate in Pakistan, the problem is likely to remain very severe in the forseeable future. This book seeks to clarify the scope and limitation of self-help housing - both as a concept and as a practice - and to contribute to the current state of knowledge by presenting a case study of Lahore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large percentage of workers and firms operate in the informal economy, outside the line of sight of governments in emerging market and developing economies. This may hold back the recovery in these economies from the deep recessions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic--unless governments adopt a broad set of policies to address the challenges of widespread informality. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of the extent of informality and its implications for a durable economic recovery and for long-term development. It finds that pervasive informality is associated with significantly weaker economic outcomes--including lower government resources to combat recessions, lower per capita incomes, greater poverty, less financial development, and weaker investment and productivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark volume brings together leading scholars in the field to investigate recent conceptual shifts, research findings and policy debates on the informal economy as well as future challenges and directions for research and policy. Well over half of the global workforce and the vast majority of the workforce in developing countries work in the informal economy, and in countries around the world new forms of informal employment are emerging. Yet the informal workforce is not well understood, remains undervalued and is widely stigmatised. Contributors to the volume bridge a range of disciplinary perspectives including anthropology, development economics, law, political science, social policy, sociology, statistics, urban planning and design. The Informal Economy Revisited also focuses on specific groups of informal workers, including home-based workers, street vendors and waste pickers, to provide a grounded insight into disciplinary debates. Ultimately, the book calls for a paradigm shift in how the informal economy is perceived to reflect the realities of informal work in the Global South, as well as the informal practices of the state and capital, not just labour. The Informal Economy Revisited is the culmination of 20 years of pioneering work by WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing), a global network of researchers, development practitioners and organisations of informal workers in 90 countries. Researchers, practitioners, policy-makers and advocates will all find this book an invaluable guide to the significance and complexities of the informal economy, and its role in today’s globalised economy.

Download or read book Rebel Streets and the Informal Economy written by Alison Brown and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street trade is a critical and highly visible component of the informal economy, linked to global systems of exchange. Yet policy responses are dismissive and evictions commonplace. Despite being progressively marginalised from public space, street traders in the global south are engaged in spatial and political battlegrounds to reclaim space, and claim de facto property rights over their place of work, through quiet infiltration, union power, or direct action. This book explores 'rebel streets', the challenges faced by informal economy actors and how organised groups are seeking to reframe legal understandings to create new claims to space and urban rights. The book sets out new thinking and a conceptual framework for improved understanding of the plural relationship between law, rights, and space for the informal economy, the contest between traditional, modernist and rights-based approaches to development, and impacts on the urban working poor. With a focus on street trading, the book seeks to reframe the legal context in which modern informal economies operate, drawing on key areas of academic inquiry and case studies of how vendors are staking claim to urban rights. The book argues for a reconceptualisation of legal instruments to provide a rights-based framework for urban work that recognises the legitimacy of urban informal economies, the scope for collective management of urban resources, and the social value of public space as a site for urban livelihoods. It will be of interest to students and scholars of geography, economics, urban studies, development studies, political studies and law.

Download or read book Formal and Informal Sector Wage Determination in Urban Low-income Neighborhoods in Pakistan written by Harold Alderman and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper examines the structure of urban labor markets in Pakistan, focusing in particular on wage formation and returns to education for male workers. Empirical work is based on a survey of 1,000 low income urban households administered in 1986 by the International Food Policy Research Institute and the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics. The report identifies three segments of the labor market : the self employed, wage workers in the informal sector, and wage workers in the formal sector, 85 percent of whom are government workers. The study finds that the difference in average wages between the formal and informal sector is primarily caused by differences in skills, although there is an apprecialble premium on wages in the formal sector, particularly for college educated men. In addition, the report identifies two categories of economically inactive individuals : young and more educated men waiting to find jobs in the formal sector and older, less qualified men who tend to live in wealthier extended families receiving substantial remittances from within Pakistan and abroad. To be effective, employment policy must address the very different kinds of constraints faced by individuals in each of the categories.
