      abstract = {This book utilizes the School to Work Transition Survey  (SWTS) of the ILO to discuss what shapes an individual  workers decision to participate in unionization and how her  working condition is affected by that. There remains a  disconnect as far as our understanding of the relationship  between the labours choice to unionize as individual actor  and the broader socioeconomic, political and cultural  context of that choice, is concerned. Using the SWTS data,  the book focuses on the identification of the correlates of  workers propensity to unionize, the outcomes of unionizing  and their synthesis with the wider political economy  context to arrive at stylized patterns in the way informal  workers exercise their agency. The book also reflects upon  field data on organizing challenges of migrant workers in  the light of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The book does  not claim to establish any causality but is interested in  bringing out broad patterns that define informal workers  organizing in a particular context. In the process, the  book ends up with the preposition that despite all the  heterogeneities across regions, informal workers organizing  today can be understood through the lens of pragmatism.
