I have travelled to many parts of the world where I’ve seen different faces of informality. Whether they are street vendors, small shop owners or other informal sector workers, one of the things that they have in common is that they work long hours to make ends meet. They sometimes work under harsh conditions with limited social protection, competing for the same clients. Yet at the same time they contribute a vast amount to the economies of their home countries, especially in the developing world.
