Abstract:

<p> The overriding presence of informal sector businesses has exacerbated the problem of tax revenue generation in the economies of most developing countries. Business owners in the informal sector have negative opinions and attitudes against taxation and they are unwilling to pay taxes. This has created a gap in knowledge as researchers explore the activities of the informal sector in the economies of developing countries. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore and analyze the reasons informal sector business owners have negative opinions and attitudes against taxa

In spite of the fact that informal traders in the informal economy are viewed as having the greatest prospects for creating jobs and absorbing the unemployed in developing countries, informal traders in Limpopo Province in general, and the city of Polokwane in particular, face various constraints that negatively affect them on a daily basis. The aim of the study has been to explore the constraints and opportunities of informal traders, using the city of Polokwane as a case study.

Abstract:

This thesis attempts to measure the growth of the Bolivian informal sector.

Related research in informal activity, theoretical discussions, and perspectives are presented in the second chapter. Chapter III describes methodological research used in the analysis of the data.

Abstract:

Much debate surrounds the effect the minimum wage has on employment. Economic theory suggests that the minimum wage acts as a price floor in the labor market and thus leads to disemployment. However, empirical evidence from a variety of industries, states, and age groups suggests that the minimum wage has negative, negligible, and even positive effect on employment. This Economics/Public Policy Analysis thesis is the first study to analyze the effect the minimum wage has on employment in the informal sector.

Abstract:

There is a global emphasis to move towards universal health coverage (UHC) with the goal of making health services more equitable and accessible for all, without the risk of financial catastrophe when paying for the services. A key element of UHC reforms is to move away from out-of-pocket payments for health services towards a greater emphasis on mandatory prepayment health financing. The main challenge for low- and middle-income countries is how to extend coverage for informal sector populations, which in most cases are disproportionately exposed to catastrophic and impoverishing healthcare c

In Canada the impetus for CBED is attributable to three factors: the dependency of small communities on external factors and the alienation it promotes; a globalizing international economy; and the failure of past Canadian regional development planning policies.

This study investigates the relationships between cash management and growth of informal businesses in Uganda. Whereas anecdotal evidence has for some time revealed that informal businesses in Uganda are faced with the challenge of cash management, no specific studies have been conducted to investigate how this relates to the growth of businesses where evidence has also indicated that most of these businesses do not exist for very long. In particular, the study assesses and explores the growth levels of informal businesses in terms of sales volume, growth in employment and length of existence.

Abstract:

This thesis proposes an original framework for the analysis of third world informal finance. It will be supported by a comprehensive survey of the associated literature. Specifically, most mainstream interpretations of informal finance adhere to a dualist paradigm that revolves around three key assumptions.
