COVID-19 and the Informal Economy

---

\\\"This comprehensive volume examines the deep and disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 crisis on informal workers, who constitute the vast majority of the global workforce, particularly in developing nations. Integrating empirical findings and case studies across 11 cities worldwide, the book analyzes how pandemic-related lockdowns and containment measures severely disrupted the livelihoods of essential frontline workers—including street vendors, waste pickers, and domestic workers—forcing them into mounting debt and asset depletion to survive. Beyond assessing the immediate socio-economic damage, the contributing scholars evaluate national economic recovery schemes and challenge long-standing negative stereotypes that brand the informal sector as non-compliant or illegal. Ultimately, the text offers a critical roadmap for global economic reforms, advocating for inclusive policies and robust social protections that fully integrate informal employment into a sustainable, resilient post-pandemic future.
