Publisher's Synopsis

The informal sector makes up a significant percentage of employment in the developing world. Using in-depth empirical material from the Caribbean, this book examines the key issues involved in informal sector work. In doing so, it also provides an overview of current perspectives on Caribbean development and globalization and on gender, ethnicity and employment. It focuses on issues such as food production and retailing, petty commodity production, street trading and governmental attitudes to informality. In conclusion, it discusses the future of the informal sector in the global economy and makes suggestions on policy for micro-enterprise and grassroots development. -
