Discuss the two aspects of informalization. What are their effects and how are they connected to globalization in practice?

Accepted Answer

Varies. Informalization comes in two forms: First, it is manifested in casualization of labor via corporate restructuring and new forms of individual and collective livelihood strategies. Beginning with export processing zones (EPZs), labor has been progressively disorganized via weakening and dismantling of labor regulations, resulting in the availability of flexible and cheap labor.

Commercial agricultural innovations usually expel peasants and laborers from rural livelihoods, who in turn migrate to urban centers. Limited employment activities often result in participation in the shadow economy.
