صرفه جویی در آنچه که کاشته می شود: مهارت های کم و کم بهره وری از کارگران اقتصاد غیر رسمی و روند کسب مهارت در کشورهای در حال توسعه

The objective of this paper is to explore the skill acquisition process of informal economy workers and how it affects their current skills and productivity levels. We used a mixed method and multilevel sampling design with the aid of questionnaires and interviews. We found that trainings provided and skill-levels of workers were basic, and this affected their performance and productivity. We recommend that skill development policies for informal economy workers need to be specific, comprehensive, all-inclusive and peculiar to their challenges.
