Women in the Informal Economy

This video is part of Module 4: How can we make cities productive and reduce inequality? 

Working in this informal, or grey economy, as it’s sometimes called, leaves women often without any protection of labor laws, social benefits such as pension, health insurance or paid sick leave. They routinely work for lower wages and in unsafe conditions and the lack of social protections has long-term impact on women.
