Informal workers'
incomes may be low -
but cumulatively their activities contribute significantly
to the local and national economy.
In most cities in the
global South, the majority of those who work, work in the informal economy. For
most informal workers, the home is the primary workplace or is used for
storage/preparation. Shelter and basic services such as water and sanitation
are issues critical to livelihoods.
Cities that recognize
informal workers and involve them in planning help create cleaner, greener,
more socially responsive and more vibrant cities.
