abstract: 'This article examines how the informal sector, as a group of potential
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`free riders'' for public welfare goods, relates to individual social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy preferences in low-and middle-income countries. The exclusion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hypothesis proposes that a large informal sector lowers the preferences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from formal workers and the middle-and high-income groups for social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services to be provided by the state, and raises these groups''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
preferences for public welfare goods to become club goods. In contrast,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the prospect hypothesis argues that formal workers, particularly the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
middle-income group, ally themselves to the informal sector to insure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
against the risk of future employment in informality. The study examines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual preferences for the provision of pensions and health care by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
either the state or private enterprises. The two competing hypotheses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are tested with a hierarchical model using survey data from Latin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
America for 1995, 1998 and 2008. The findings offer support for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exclusion hypothesis.'
