مارتی چن، یکی از بنیانگذاران شبکه WIEGO (زنان در استخدام غیررسمی: جهانی شدن و سازماندهی)، مدرس سیاست عمومی در دانشکده کندی هاروارد و استاد وابسته در دانشکده طراحی فارغ التحصیل هاروارد، خلاصه ای از یک منبع جهانی را ارائه خواهد کرد. گزارش موسسه که او با ویکتوریا ریش در مورد موضوع این سمینار نوشته است. او در مورد چگونگی تضعیف معیشت افراد فقیر شاغل شهری در اقتصاد غیررسمی توسط شیوه‌های حذف در بسیاری از شهرها بحث خواهد کرد و سپس نمونه‌های امیدوارکننده‌ای از شیوه‌ها و سیاست‌های فراگیر توسط دولت‌های شهری ارائه می‌کند. او سخنان خود را با خلاصه‌ای از داده‌های رسمی اخیر و یافته‌های تحقیقاتی در مورد نیروی کار غیررسمی شهری در جنوب جهانی آغاز می‌کند و با فراخوانی برای تغییر در طرز فکر به منظور ایجاد شهرهای فراگیرتر و برابر پایان می‌دهد. مارتا یک متخصص و محقق با تجربه توسعه است، زمینه های تخصصی او اشتغال، جنسیت و فقر با تمرکز بر فقرای کارگر در اقتصاد غیررسمی است. قبل از پیوستن به هاروارد در سال ۱۹۸۷، او دو دهه تجربه اقامت در بنگلادش کار با BRAC (در حال حاضر بزرگترین سازمان غیردولتی جهان) و در هند داشت، جایی که او به عنوان نماینده میدانی آکسفام آمریکا برای هند و بنگلادش خدمت کرد. مارتا مدرک دکترای خود را در مطالعات منطقه ای جنوب آسیا از دانشگاه پنسیلوانیا دریافت کرد.

قسمتي از متن فيلم: The most pressing challenge for urban and formal workers is that they are not recognized as legitimate actors there are dominant narratives that say they are illegal they’re criminal they have low productivity they’re a drag on the economy and these dominant narratives are then reflected in the city’s policies and plans and practices making

It very difficult for them to earn an honest living in a very harsh regulatory environment well what we know is key is that there should first be a participatory process in which the organization’s of the workers have a voice and a say and that could lead to then the policies and practices that

Would support them and in general one way to think about what they need is that they need access to public space to pursue their livelihoods they need access to public services particularly basic infrastructure transport services at their workplace and then they would like access to public procurement when

The government puts out bids for goods and services they would like to be able to compete in Durban South Africa there was a project to revive a precinct on the edge of the central business district where there was a natural market of about 8,000 vendors and the city had a program to build

Infrastructure shelter and otherwise support the workers and this work has been continued by an NGO formed by city officials to continue the work in bube Anish where India there are vending zones for street vendors in Bogota Colombia the city has issued a contract to the association of waste pickers to

Collect and transport and recycle waste in Pune India the city has also given a contract to waste pickers so there are good practice examples in many cities well if you think of income equality or income inequality what we know is that over half of the urban workforce globally is in the informal

Economy and to make the city more equal in terms of incomes the livelihoods the ways these workers earn their livelihoods have to be enabled and supported by the city we also know that these workers contribute to the economy of the city so that the economy itself will flourish not just the informal

Workers themselves we know that these workers contribute to the local economy most construction workers who build roads and buildings are informal most people in manufacturing manufacturing goods are hired informally or our self-employed trade the distribution of goods and services particularly the last mile is mainly done by informal traders

There’s a study that shows that 70% of households in sub-saharan Africa buy food from informal markets and street vendors the waste pickers are cleaning the streets they’re saving waste from going to landfills or incinerators which contributes to carbon emissions so they’re helping the city they’re also helping in terms of environmental

Sustainability and we believe that informal workers in general have a smaller carbon footprint than the formal enterprises and workers in the same sectors
