<br/><br/> Re-Placing Informal Employment challenges many of the popular myths surrounding informal economic activities, and offers a radical reassesment of their extent, growth, location and nature.<br/>The book uses case studies from the UK, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the US and Canada to challenge:<br/>* the popular belief that informal employment is growing throughout the advanced economies<br/>* the myth that this work is undertaken mostly by marginalized groups<br/>* the dominant view that we should replace informal with formal employment through enforcement of regulations.<br/>Examining policy options and their consequences, the authors show that conventional approaches only increase inequalities and that a radical alternative solution is essential.<br/><br/><br/>
