001461153 520__ $$aThis edited book examines the social realities of migrant traders in the informal economy in South Africa. It draws on original research conducted with migrant traders in order to understand their lived experiences in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. With chapters on the diverse types of informal trading, urban versus rural settings, migrant women, xenophobia, crime, poverty, well-being and policy responses, the book will be a valuable resource for researchers, scholars, policymakers and development practitioners whose work relates to SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). Pranitha Maharaj is a Professor and South African Research Chair in Economic Development at the School of Built Environment and Development Studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
