This growth has accelerated following the rise of neo-liberal policies and the retreat of the welfare state. Muchie shifts the academic focus away from solely critiquing the exploitative nature of labor in the informal sector, instead highlighting its significant contributions to employment generation and economic growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003eThe book presents a novel perspective on the informal sector, addressing the increasing relevance of knowledge generation and innovative practices within these economic activities. With the retreat of the welfare state and the rise of contract labor in the formal sector, many of the challenges once associated with the informal sector—such as poor labor conditions and occupational hazards—are now also found in the formal economy, especially in less developed countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1833\"\u003eThis volume, originally published in the \u003cem data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1433\"\u003eAfrican Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development\u003c\/em\u003e, delves into the core issue of how knowledge generation and innovation contribute to the sustained competitive advantage of informal sector activities. Each chapter in this insightful book provides a rich analysis of the ways in which innovation in informal economies can foster growth and development, ultimately offering a new lens for understanding the informal sector's role in global economies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49946299793712,"sku":"Sarat_9781138091290","price":3579.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/routledge-book-default-title-informal-sector-innovations-insights-from-the-global-south-41304490901808.jpg?v=1775949099","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/informal-sector-innovations-insights-from-the-global-south","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
