The Urban Informal Sector: A Search for the Processes and Appropriate Strategies

Chapter 11 in Human Resources, Employment and Development Volume 5: Developing Countries, 1984, pp 243-264 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The dualist conception of developing economies has undergone considerable revision since the original proposition concerning the ‘urban market economy’ and the ‘rural subsistence economy’. The economy-wide ‘two-sector’ classifications have given place to finer subdivisions, especially in the urban context, since conventional wisdom seemed to be increasingly incapable of explaining certain intraurban economic processes.
