The Informal Economy
Author: Alejandro Portes
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
A New York roofer requests payment in cash. A Bogota car mechanic sets up "shop" on a quiet side street. Four Mexican immigrants assemble semiconductors in a San Diego home. A Leningrad doctor sells needed medicine to a desperate patient. All are part of a growing worldwide phenomenon that is widely known but little understood. The informal or underground economy is thriving today, not only in the Third World countries where it was first reported and studied but also in Eastern Europe and the developed nations of the West. The Informal Economy is the first book to bring together studies from all three of these settings and to integrate them into a coherent theoretical framework. Taking an international perspective, the authors dispel a number of misconceptions about the informal economy. They make clear, for instance, that it is not solely a province of the poor. Cutting across social strata, it reflects a political and economic realignment between employers and workers and a shift in the regulatory mission of the government. Throughout, the authors' theoretical observations serve not only to unify material from diverse sources but also to map out directions for further research.

Pluricentricity
Author: Augusto Soares da Silva
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110303647
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The "one-nation-one-language" assumption is as unrealistic as the well-known Chomskyan ideal of a homogeneous speech community. Linguistic pluricentricity is a common and widespread phenomenon; it can be understood as either differing national standards or differing local norms. The nine studies collected in this volume explore the sociocultural, conceptual and structural dimensions of variation and change within pluricentric languages, with specific emphasis on the relationship between national varieties. They include research undertaken in both the Cognitive Linguistic and socolinguistic tradition, with particular emphasis upon the emerging framework of Cognitive Sociolinguistics. Six languages, all more or less pluricentric, are analyzed: four Germanic languages (English, German, Dutch and Swedish) and two Romance languages (Portuguese and French). The volume describes patterns of phonetic, lexical and morphosyntactic variation, and perception and attitudes in relation to these pluricentric languages. It makes use of advanced empirical methods able to account for the complex interplay between conceptual and social aspects of pluricentric variation and other forms of language-internal variation.

Transitioning from the Informal to the Formal Economy
Author: International Labour Conference
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789221277545
Category : Informal sector (Economics)
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
Provides an overview of the phenomenon of the informal economy, its impact on the attainment of decent work for all workers and employers and the ILO's approach to the transition to formality, as set out in the 2002 Conclusions. Looks at the regulatory environment relating to the informal economy at the international and national levels, with examples of existing laws and practice from different regions, legal systems, traditions and circumstances adopted by ILO constituents to ensure a progressive transition to the formal economy. Examines the need for an integrated policy framework, encompassing the ILO's four strategic objectives (fundamental principles and rights at work, employment, social protection and social dialogue) adapted to the national context of each member State for a progressive transition to the formal economy and decent work.
