Stemming the tide of uncertainty and vulnerability

Stemming the tide of uncertainty and vulnerability is a blog post about informal workers by Renée McAlpin which cites Martha Chen, International Coordinator of WIEGO:

“'the majority of all workers—and a significant majority of women workers—are informally employed.' In a global context, sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia have the highest percentage of women in the informal economy, at 74 percent and 83 percent, respectively. Vulnerable groups, such as women and migrants are at the highest risk of living in poverty within the informal economy."
