WIEGO Network Platform: Transitioning from the Informal to the Formal Economy in the Interests of Workers in the Informal Economy
The platform sets out common core needs and demands for informal workers around organizing/labour rights, voice and bargaining power, legal identity and standing, economic rights, and social rights, including social protection.
The platform also outlines different categories, meanings, and implications of informal employment, offers a summary of a comprehensive approach to transitioning from the informal to formal economy, and puts forward sector-specific (domestic workers, home-based workers, street vendors, and waste pickers) demands around formalization.
This platform was prepared for the International Labour Conference discussions on Transitions from the Informal to the Formal Economy.
