Unlocking potential of informal entrepreneurship

In Sub-Saharan Africa informality dominates urban labour markets. These markets are very heterogeneous in terms of entry costs, firm size, access to credit, as well as human and physical capital endowments.

With the aid of research funding from the World Bank, ISS is trying to better understand the factors that constrain informal entrepreneurs from developing their business.
