Social Contracts and Informal Workers in the Global South draws on
the accounts of informal workers, who represent over 60 per cent of
the global workforce, to advocate for radically new
conceptualizations of state-society, capital-labour and
state-capital-labour relations, illustrating how current social
contracts may be considered inadequate, irrelevant or unjust.
Bridging social contract theories, both mainstream and critical,
and the experiences of informal workers - self-employed, wage
employed and sub-contracted - this book sheds light on how many
existing social contract models stigmatize informal workers and do
not offer legal or social protection. Instead of ideologically
driven 'top-down' calls to revitalize the social contract, it
advocates for 'bottom-up' initiatives focused on the demands of the
working poor in the informal economy. With a wealth of
cross-national evidence, as well as promising case studies, this
timely and thought-provoking book will prove vital for scholars and
researchers of informal workers and of state-capital-labour
relations; and for policy makers negotiating new social contracts.
