However, growth is not always inclusive. In developing countries, the majority of workers are still engaged in informal employment, characterised by a lack of adequate social protection, low pay, limited growth potential, violations of labour rights, and unsafe or difficult working conditions. Despite strong economic growth, informalisation of work is increasing in all developing regions except East Asia. Women and young people are overrepresented in informal employment. This HLP of academics, policy-makers and practitioners will aim to take stock of this diversity and discuss which policies are needed to create better opportunities for development of the workers in the informal economy. Moderated by Kristian Schmidt, Director, Human Development Department, Directorate-General for Development and Cooperation – EuropeAid, European Commission Organised by European Commission, Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing – WIEGO 34 | EDD 2012 | AGENDA | TUESDAY 16
