Low-Income Male Workers and Micro-Entrepreneurs

Abstract: Abstract In the last chapter I discussed the results from my fieldwork on women. In this chapter, my focus will be a comparison between men and women in an attempt to develop a gender analysis of the informal sector. In order to examine the role of men in this sector, I adopt the same methodology used to study women. I worked with the same research assistants, but in some cases it was imperative to have a male interviewer, as was the case with construction workers who cannot be interviewed during the day but have to be interviewed at night at the work site—a no-female zone. Moreover, on the question of domestic violence, as we shall see later, men refused to give an answer to female interviewers or often avoided the question; therefore it was important to have a male interviewer.
