Research Team
Our research team brings together researchers and statisticians from all participating institutes.
The team has sound experience in the analysis of informal labour markets in low and middle income countries. Part of the team has been directly involved in the design and collection of the data used in this project. All team members have field experience in one or several countries under study. Through AFRISTAT we are also in contact with partners in the West-African countries we are working on. Two members of our team are based in Vietnam and we have strong links to research teams in Madagascar and Peru where some team members have spent a substantial period of time during the past 15 years.
