In 2008, WIEGO initiated the Law and Informal Economy project, focusing on the legal aspects of helping informal workers with economic opportunity, labour rights, benefits and protection.

 

This paper highlights some of the key lessons learned from the project regarding the nature of the informal economy and the manner in which legal and policy tools can address the concerns of those working in the informal economy.

 

The model for this pilot project in India is currently underway in Ghana, Peru and Thailand.
