Figure 1
The diagram consists of a large outer oval containing a smaller inner oval. The inner oval is divided into three sections by dashed lines that meet near the center. At the top of the outer oval, the text reads “Beyond the binary distinction between formal and informal and hybridization of work” (first condition). Along the left side of the outer oval, the text reads “Defining informality” (second condition). Along the right side of the outer oval, the text reads “Bridging the debates between the Global North and the Global South” (third condition). At the bottom of the outer oval, the text reads “Informal work as an integrated element within broader transformations” (fourth condition). Inside the inner oval, the top section is labelled “The individual perspective” (first level of analysis). The text underneath reads “Professional or employment careers or status and different types or degrees of informality shape perceptions on and experiences of informality”. Another line reads “Gender, race, class, and legal status”. The lower-left section is labelled “The relational aspect” (second level of analysis). The text within this section reads “Bottom-up practices manifested individually, collectively or in un-planned ways”, “Link between formal and informal labour organising”, “Perceptions of and the role of intermediaries”, and “Agency towards the State”. The lower-right section is labelled “The role of institutions” (third level of analysis). The text within this section reads “How the regulatory context shapes informality”. Another line reads “A holistic approach in formalising and regulating informal work”.Analytical framework
