Abstract:

Feedback in modeling is very crucial and educational institutions are not exempted. With the dynamic nature of businesses today, the development of technical and vocational education and training can greatly improve when periodic feedback is given to help shape the development and implementation of curriculum. After five (5) years of offering training and technical support to graduates in the informal sector in deprived communities, in Ghana, by Koforidua Technical University through the Institute of Open and Distance Learning, (IODL) with support from Commonwealth of Learning (COL), this pape

Abstract:

This article explores the informal seed business, focusing on the yellow bean in Tanzania. The yellow bean is a major bean type traded, yet little is known about the seed supply that fuels it. The survey research in 2019 encompassed larger grain traders, informal seed traders, and retailers, covered major production, distribution and sale hubs, and was complemented by GIS mapping of seed and grain flows and DNA fingerprinting of yellow bean samples. Results showed that traders buy and sell grain and informal seed: it is not one business or the other, but both. Informal seed is an important mon

Abstract:

The origins of the informal sector are traced to the twin problems of rapid urbanization, as a result of rural to urban migration, and low rates of employment expansion in the "modem" sector. The inability of the "modern" sector to provide jobs for the fast growing urban labour force, however, is not' reflected in widespread unemployment. Instead, the surplus labour is absorbed in other sections of the urban economy which has been termed in the development literature as the informal sector. The informal sector not only serves the important function of absorbing surplus labour unable to find jo

AbstractThe informal sector and informal employment relations occupy a prominent place in India's economy: one of their key features is the apparent absence of the state from labour regulation. This article seeks to trace the emergence of the division between the formal and informal sectors in India's economy from a historical perspective: it shows how the state, far from being absent, played a fundamental role in creating the dichotomy. This is done through a close study of labour legislation and the politics around it, taking South India as a case study. The article examines the enactment of

Introduction. The management of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine is an extremely dynamic and multifaceted process influenced by numerous factors. Among them, not only formally established institutions—such as laws, regulations, state programs, contracts, and governance structures—play a significant role. Alongside these, and sometimes as a determining force shaping the trajectory of agribusiness development and functioning, informal institutions operate. These unwritten rules, entrenched behavioural norms, deeply rooted traditions, extensive social ties, and informal agreements create a uni

This article presents original research on relations between middle-class residents and informal-sector workers in Delhi, India.

The increasing population in Indonesia has an impact on the increasing need for jobs.

In the end, workers who became unemployed because they did not get opportunities in employment turned to the informal labor market.

Traders line many streets in Lagos and are considered a menace to the city. These traders are a substantial segment of the informal sector, which employs up to 70 % of the working population. Yet traders on Lagos streets are susceptible to risks to health, auto accidents and extortions/multiple taxation. Therefore, based on data from 45 semi-structured interviews among street traders in Lagos, as well as Neil Brenner’s Critical Urban and Oscar Newman’s Defensible Space, this study examines existingstreet trader management in Lagos. The findings reveal that over half of the traders are male and

The paper explores the evolution of Internal Quality Control (IQC) in Sierra Leone&apos;s higher education institutions (HEIs) with a specific focus on the transformative role of Learning Management Systems (LMS).

Abstract:

India has always been a booming market for the financial activities of both commercial banks and the public sector banks. But have all sects of the Indian society been able to access these financial services? With the liberalization policy embarked by the government in 1991, private banks started to emerge out and the already existing public sector banks started to spread its services to reach out to every part of the society. All these efforts helped significantly to remove the myth of banks being a place only for the rich and business class people from the minds of commoners. But however, su

This paper reflects on a cross-sector social intervention that uses roadworthy ‘tiny house’ shepherd’s huts in public spaces as informal locations for connectivity. Working at the intersections between street-level outreach, outdoor education and community arts, the Welcome Hut project can be conceptualised as a hospitality hub. Participants engage in public daydreaming and storytelling that emerges from a welcoming gesture of recognition and reciprocity. The autoethnographic narrative by the project’s initiator traces back how this concrete utopia had initially been created outside of social

Abstract:

A quantitative framework of firm dynamics is developed where the size of the informal sector is determined by financial constraints and the burden of taxation. Improving access to credit for formal sector firms increases aggregate total factor productivity and output while reducing the size of the informal sector. Introducing size-dependent taxes reduces the gains from financial development as they incentivize firms to produce at a relatively limited scale. The aggregate effects of eliminating formal sector registration costs are positive but modest relative to previous theoretical models and
