How to Analyse Government Budgets from an Informal Economy Perspective

By Debbie Budlender on December 01, 2009

Budget analysis is a powerful policy analysis tool. This technical brief provides a guide to conducting an informal economy budget analysis (IEBA).

IEBAs examine how city and national government budgets address the needs and interests of different groups of informal workers. This brief draws on the experience of researchers who conducted IEBAs in four countries: Brazil, Pakistan, Peru and Philippines.
