Until a few decades ago, the informal sector had been cast as an aspect of economic backwardness, to be ​‘rectified’ by development. Historical trajectories, however, have flowed in the opposite direction. The informal sector continues to coexist alongside processes of growth and ​‘modernisation’.

The workshop organised by ICAS:MP and Azim Premji University brings together social scientists using economic and historical methods to look at contemporary manifestations of informality and its intersection with gender and politics.
