Extending Livelihood Opportunities and Social Protection to Empower Poor Urban Informal Workers in Asia
Oxfam Great Britain, the Rockefeller Foundation and the WIEGO network joined hands to commission Lin Lim, a well-known Malaysian economist who worked for many years with the International Labour Organization, to undertake a review of available statistical data, research findings and practical experience on the urban informal economy in Asia generated by the ILO and the WIEGO network, often working collaboratively.
