Decent informal work development in the shadow of the covid-19 pandemic: Capability approach’s perspectives

Our research aims to explore decent informal work development capabilities, constraints, opportunities and enablers through the theoretical lenses of the capability approach. It is in collaboration with the Traders Advocacy Group Ghana (TAGG), a leading registered national umbrella union of workers in Ghana’s informal economy. We employ interview data from members and leaders of TAGG across the 16 regions of Ghana. Our results are expected to extend the capability approach and the decent informal work literature. Besides, they can generate critical policy insights to promote post-pandemic decent work policy implementation in developing economies like Ghana.
