Synopsis
The informal sector concerns the large segment of the unskilled labour that has failed to manage regular and protected employment in the rapidly expanding towns and cities of the Third World countries. Based on empirical research over two decades in a small town of south Gujarat, this book discusses and then rejects some of the standard notions regarding the origin, size, shape and growth of this "sector".

Review
`Breman's empirical work will interest researchers across development studies. His fluent Hindi and Gujarati are priceless assets, and his writing is the more powerful for being unpolemical ... This book is an authoritative reminder of the power of capital.'
Arvind Sivaramakrishnan, Times Higher Education Supplement
