| Shrnutí: | This contribution recognizes that the informal economy is growing phenomenon in developing countries and an increasing reality. Labour and social protection measures were designed to protect those in the traditional employment relationship and is inadequate to protect vulnerable workers in the informal economy. If labour law cannot meet this challenge its function and impact will become negligible in the new world of work. International instruments do exist, however low ratification rates remain problematic. Trade union representation of these workers remain low and is of the utmost importance that these workers mobilize to improve their working conditions. It has become necessary to explore various workers organizations, other than trade unions, to facilitate the needs of these workers. |
