What did we learn at the 2019 European Development Days?

At the event organised by Cities Alliance, our speakers explored the role of public goods and services as a pathway to more equitable economic development.

#Informalworkers are real people and they are here"

@sallyroever explains how ILO Recommendation 204 recognizes that many informal workers lack rights at work, lack of social protection and that their livelihoods must be preserved in any #formalization process. #InformalJobs
