The informal economy represents a significant share of output and
employment in many developing countries. Yet little is known about
this hidden engine of innovation. This pioneering study addresses
some crucial questions, including: what is the role of the informal
sector in economic development? How does innovation occur in the
informal economy? How does it spread, who are the key actors and
what impacts does it have? How do inventors and entrepreneurs in
the informal economy reap benefits from their innovations? What
stops informal sector innovation from scaling up? How can informal
sector innovation in developing countries be measured? And what
policies might support informal sector innovation and improve its
impacts? This book will stimulate further work on this crucial but
under-researched subject. As well as rich empirical evidence from
several groundbreaking studies, it includes conceptual and
methodological tools and policy recommendations to help researchers
and policy-makers understand innovation in the informal economy.
