Gender, Employment and the Informal Economy, Glossary of Terms
Abstract
This document presents a glossary of Terms on Gender, Employment, and the Informal Economy. This glossary was prepared as a compendium to the publications from the regional initiative on “Gender Equality and Workers’ Rights in the Informal Economies of Arab States”, and complements the country case studies (Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Yemen), the regional overview, and policy briefs. It aims to compile up-to-date definitions of key concepts relevant to the discussion generated by the regional initiative from the most authoritative sources, for use by government agencies, workers’ and employers’ organizations, research and academic institutions, non-governmental organizations and international agencies working on development, employment, gender equality and workers’ rights issues in the region.
