The Interrelationship between Informal Sector and Good Governance Policies in Developing Countries
Workshop (2 days) by Dr. Matthias Meißner, Attorney at Law, Düsseldorf
on 13th - 14th February 2014 from 10:00 - 17:00 h at Room GB 1/144, Ruhr-University Bochum
In many parts of the world informal employment is the norm, not the exception: in developing countries more than 900 million workers can be considered informal – they represent more than half of all jobs in the non-agricultural sectors. In some regions, including sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, their share is even higher: according to estimations more than 80% of non-agricultural jobs are informal in these regions. Furthermore, from the point of view of economic sectors, the informal sector represents a huge and important part of the overall economic system in developing countries.
