Description
| Summary: | This collection of essays begins with a critical analysis of the informal sector. The concept of the informal sector draws attention to the large segment of the unskilled labour that has failed to manage regular and protected employment in the rapidly expanding towns and cities of the Third World countries. Based on empirical research over two decades in a small town of south Gujarat the author discusses and then rejects some of the standard notions regarding the origin, size, shape and growth of this `sector'.
