No 2024.03, IOB Discussion Papers from Universiteit Antwerpen, Institute of Development Policy (IOB)

Abstract: This paper delves into miners' endurance in La Rinconada, Peru, an extreme case of informal ASGM, to understand how they persist in adverse conditions, drawing on the concept of endurance as the ability to persist in difficult circumstances, constantly adapting to unpredictable contexts and envisaging a better future, as observed through social navigation theory.
