Informal Migrant Entrepreneurship and Inclusive Growth in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique
While increasing attention is being paid to the drivers and forms
of entrepreneurship in informal economies, much less of this policy and
research focus is directed at understanding the links between mobility
and informality. This report examines the current state of knowledge
about this relationship with particular reference to three countries
(Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe) and four cities (Cape Town,
Harare, Johannesburg and Maputo), identifying major themes, knowledge
gaps, research questions and policy implications.
