Executive Summary – Informal Economy Monitoring Study: Waste Pickers in Bogotá, Colombia
Recent statistics show the majority of workers in developing countries earn their livelihoods in the informal economy. The Informal Economy Monitoring Study (IEMS) is a qualitative and quantitative study designed to evaluate the reality for these workers. With research conducted over three years in 10 cities, the IEMS aims to provide credible, grounded evidence of the range of driving forces, both positive and negative, that affect working conditions in the informal economy over time.
In Bogotá, the IEMS research was undertaken with membership-based organizations that form part of the Asociación de Recicladores de Bogotá (Waste Pickers' Association of Bogotá; ARB by its acronym in Spanish).
