2.5 Living and working in the urban informal economy: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Street vendors in Mexico City; rickshaw pullers in Calcutta; jeepney
drivers in Manila; garbage collectors in Bogotá; and roadside barbers in Durban
– those who work on the streets or in the open air are the more visible
occupational groups in the informal economy. The streets of cities, towns,
and villages in most developing countries – and in many developed countries
– are lined with barbers, cobblers, garbage collectors, waste recyclers, and
vendors of vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, snack foods, and a myriad of nonperishable
items ranging from locks and keys to soaps and detergents, and
clothing. In many countries, head-loaders, cart pullers, bicycle peddlers,
rickshaw pullers, and camel, bullock, or horse-cart drivers jostle to make
their way down narrow village lanes or through the maze of traffic on city
streets. |

4.2 Rights at work and development: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| A successful strategy for strengthening the governance of labour markets

The Emerging Strength of Emerging Markets
| |
| The rise of emerging markets appears to be the defining economic theme of the current decade – much as information technology was in the 1990s and Japan’s manufacturing prowess was in the 1980s. Both of those stories, however, ultimately ended in speculative excess and painful corrections. Will the same thing happen in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries? Or is the emerging markets boom still in its infancy? If the answer to the latter question is yes, will the developed world turn to protectionism in an attempt to preserve its dominant position in the global economy? |

accounted for a large amount of this boom. In Africa, new stock markets have been

are mature. |

Marketing: New Ideas For A New Market
| |
| Now that we are all famous, what happens when we all have access and input to the same data? How do we find our target markets? And how does marketing change given our murky demographics?
I have answers, and I’ll begin by being a bit provocative: information doesn’t teach someone how to make a decision. Indeed, I believe that ‘information’ is useful only when people have already decided they are actively seeking a new solution. It’s certainly useless as a means to convince someone to do something they weren’t going to do, don’t believe in, don’t understand, or who have people and policy hurdles that created a status quo that needs collaborative decisions and systems change to move forward. |

Markets are Hyper-sensitive to Political Rhetoric
| |
| Some things never cease to amaze me. Just when you thought we were about to settle in to a lazy summer of sideways markets, some fools just can’t help themselves to be quiet. I am talking about politicians. And government officials. When are they going to learn that the markets are hyper-sensitive to not only what they do, but what they SAY? |

Generating Leads and Dominating In Niche Markets
| |
| Developing niche markets focuses on identifying a small but focused segment of the potential customers, understanding their unique needs and addressing them by accordingly positioning your business.
