RNSF #InformalTalks Webinar 2: How to tackle the Informal Economy? Key policies and approaches

After a first edition dedicated to the definition of the informal economy, the objective of the second webinar is to present major orientations of policies designed to tackle the informal economy, with special reference to the key actors in the field. The discussion will focus on:

• on the main interventions used in the framework of policies targeting the informal economy: taxing the informal activities, upgrading the informal activities within the value chain, and organising the populations dependent on the informal economy
• on the analysis of the main technical pillars underpinning the policies: social protection, technical and vocational training (TVET), and finance.

This free public webinar is addressed to experts and practitioners, in particular: representatives of Public Authorities, CSOs, researchers, staff of EU DEVCO and EU Delegations and other Donors and International Organisations. The webinar will be facilitated by Mr. Paolo Carlini, RNSF Team Leader, with two presentations of Mr. Jacques Charmes, Director of research emeritus, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, University Paris Descartes and RNSF Research Expert, and Mr. Alessandro Batazzi (DEVCO – Unit B3 Employment, Social Inclusion, Migration). It will be structured with 3 questions:

• What are the key approaches to the Informal Economy?
• What are the key interventions used in policies targeting the informal economy?
• What are the main pillars of policies designed to tackle the informal economy?

The webinar is part of the activities of the EU-funded project Research, Network & Support Facility (RNSF) and the Informal Economy Support Facility Group (IESF Group), the community of practice dedicated to the informal economy. More info on: http://europa.eu/capacity4dev/iesf
