ILO and WTO Release Joint Study on Informal Employment in Developing Countries
A collaborative research program of the International Labour Organization's International Institute for Labour Studies and the World Trade Organization Secretariat has published a study (pdf) focusing on the connection between globalization and informal employment. According to a press release issued by the ILO and WTO, the study "suggests that trade reforms should be designed and implemented in an employment-friendly way, making the reallocation of jobs more conducive to formal employment growth." Levels of informal employment in developing countries range from 30% in some Latin American countries to more than 80% in certain sub-Saharan African and South Asian countries.
