Question Time: What are the most recent researches on social protection and the informal economy in your country?

Dear members of the IESF Group,

The book Extending coverage: Social protection and the informal economy recently published by RNSF is the result of the Regional Workshop we held last February in Kenya, inviting a mixed group of researchers, regional experts, members of civil society organizations, and public officers to address a key issue for informal workers.

In a spirit of pursuit of this dialogue, here is our question time of the month: What are the most recent researches on social protection and the informal economy in your country?

Here are the takes on social protection of some of the researchers who took part to the book:
