Informal Economy Podcast: Social Protection WIEGO

Professor Mike Rogan, member of the Neil Aggett Labour Studies Unit (NALSU) at Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网, explores how the fallout of the pandemic including lockdowns affected informal workers’ income, working hours, and access to healthcare -- as well as their coping strategies, demands and the government responses. Also presenting is Dr Ana Carolina, a Research Associate at Women in Informal Employment: Globalising and Organising (WIEGO). The podcast is available here

The podcast draws on work done for the second round of a global, longitudinal survey by WIEGO. It includes clips from workers' testimonies taken from two webinars of the global survey project, and is part of a WIEGO series. NALSU members are involved in WIEGO, a global network focused on empowering the working poor, especially women, in the informal economy to secure their livelihoods. For more about WIEGO, click here .
