The Legal Empowerment Agenda
Author: Dr Dan Banik
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409489310
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Despite providing society with a set of crucial services, large groups of workers in the informal economy are subject to exclusion and discrimination, and their lives are characterised by various types of vulnerabilities and deprivations that result from the denial of social, economic, political and legal protection. Although not new to the development vocabulary, the informal economy has received renewed attention in recent years largely due to the ILO's 'decent work' agenda and various efforts to promote 'legal empowerment of the poor'. With an explicit focus on labour rights, the book focuses on a nuanced understanding of the regulatory and operational challenges and dilemmas related to implementing the two approaches in selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to analyzing structures and relations of power between the formal and the informal economies, the book critically discusses the work of governments, civil society organizations and the poor themselves to address the daily challenges of living in the informal economy.

Towards Decent Work in a Sub-Saharan Africa
Author: Theo Sparreboom
Publisher: International Labour Office
ISBN: 9789221249429
Category : Labor market
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Decent work - productive employment that delivers a fair income, security, freedom and dignity, social protection for families, opportunities for personal development and social integration, and equality of opportunity for men and women - is a fundamental goal for all societies. It is also a central element in the fight against global poverty and hunger. In 2008, the United Nations adopted a new target under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) "to achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people". This target has particular relevance for sub-Saharan Africa, where widespread poverty is inextricably entwined with a lack of decent work. Drawing on broad regional labour market analyses and country case studies, this book demonstrates how the new MDG employment indicators can be used as a basis for improved labour market and poverty monitoring as well as improved employment policy development in sub-Saharan Africa. It is argued that analysis based on the MDG employment indicators provides a major building block for employment diagnostics, which in turn serves to inform growth strategies that generate more high-quality and productive jobs.
