The document discusses the role of the informal sector in solid waste management and conditions for its successful integration. It finds that informal waste pickers currently contribute significantly to waste collection, sorting, and recycling in many developing countries. However, waste pickers often face hazardous working conditions with lack of benefits. The document examines experiences from GTZ projects and identifies key factors for the informal sector's successful integration, including: the organization of waste pickers, developing social acceptance of their work, establishing legal protections and partnerships with the public and private sectors, and ensuring their access to waste materials. Overall, the experiences discussed found that partnerships with the informal sector can improve waste management while also contributing to poverty reduction.

This document summarizes findings from interviews with 55 African Americans engaged in informal economic activities in Chicago and Baltimore. It explores the nature of informal work, reasons for participating, and advantages and disadvantages. Most interviewees operate unregistered, cash-based businesses like home repair, childcare, or hair styling. While some supplement formal jobs, others work informally due to inability to find formal employment or dissatisfaction with formal jobs. Reasons for participating include the need for supplemental income, a desire for independence, or to strengthen social support networks. The document discusses implications for microenterprise programs seeking to engage these potential clients.
This document discusses research on Nigeria's informal sector over nearly four decades. It begins by noting the rapid growth of informal economies globally and the large body of literature on the topic. Some scholars advocate analyzing informality at the national level given variability across countries. The Nigerian informal sector predates the concept's introduction, with early research in 1975. Since structural adjustment in 1986, the informal workforce has greatly expanded. The document aims to systematically review informal sector literature in Nigeria for the first time. It analyzes the trajectory of research and aims to identify gaps to inform future studies.
This document summarizes a report on taxing the informal sector in developing countries. It begins by defining the informal sector and discussing its size in African economies. There are benefits to taxing the informal sector such as increasing government revenue, encouraging economic growth, and strengthening accountability. However, efforts to tax the informal sector face challenges related to compliance. The report discusses common strategies used like indirect taxes, withholding taxes, and presumptive tax regimes. It argues more research is needed on incentives for compliance and how to shift incentives for taxpayers, politicians, and administrators. Some countries are experimenting with new approaches but more evidence is still needed on their outcomes and impacts on development.
