This report adds two perspectives on informal employment. First, it highlights the intergenerational aspect of informal employment and describes the various channels through which the vulnerability challenge of informal workers is being passed on to their children in the absence of adequate education, skills and social protection policy. Second, it underscores the double burden of informality and low-paying work that a large majority of workers in the informal economy carry, and as such calls for policy solutions that go beyond the formalisation agenda and embrace the goal of social justice.
