Workers in the Informal Economy: Platform of Issues
This platform states the concerns of workers in the informal economy as they emerged from discussions held in workshops organized by the Committee for Asian Women, by HomeNet, by workers' education organizations (Workers' Education Association of Zambia and Workers' Education Association of England and Scotland, with the participation of the International Federation of Workers' Education Associations), by the Harvard Trade Union Program and by the International Restructuring Education Network, in Asia, Africa, North America and Europe, in 2001 and 2002. Women in Informal Employment Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) and StreetNet participated in these workshops, in some instances as co-sponsor. The platform also reflects research and discussions within WIEGO and takes on board some of the elements of discussions within the Task Force on Unprotected or Informal Work of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions.
