Conclusions. 330 $aThis book examines the nature and regulation of the informal economy by means of a collective case study in a highly regulated Western country. The book, situated at the intersection of criminology and sociology, investigates the relation between formal, informal and criminal work in three urban and rural labour markets (seasonal work, street trade and sex work) alongside the impact of state policies on informality. Boels uncovers the differential position authorities take regarding these labour markets, notwithstanding the presence of informality and often vulnerable position of workers in each one of them. With a distinctive focus on informal workers, and through in-depth interviews, this study explores the life and work of informal workers, including their experiences with regulators, their motivations for working informally and their perceptions of state policy. In short, this book gives a voice to often ignored but crucial participants of the informal economy. The detailed discussion of the results and the links to theoretical frameworks will ensure this book is of particular interest to scholars of urban economics and governance, criminology, and sociology. 606 $aCrime?Sociological aspects 606 $aSociology 606 $aCulture 606 $aIndustrial sociology 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aCriminology 606 $aCrime and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000 606 $aSociological Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22060 606 $aSociology of Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100 606 $aSociology of Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22240 606 $aUrban Studies/Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250 606 $aCriminological Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B6000 615 0$aCrime?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aIndustrial sociology. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 14$aCrime and Society. 615 24$aSociological Theory. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aSociology of Work. 615 24$aUrban Studies/Sociology. 615 24$aCriminological Theory. 676 $a306.74094 700 $aBoels$b Dominique$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063830 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155305003321 996 $aThe Informal Economy$92534935 997 $aUNINA
