Abstract
The labor market in low-income countries
is typically characterized by nonstandard
work, imprecise employers,
uncertain income, and low labor market
participation. This study elucidates
the social protection of informal workers
as a consequence of their associations,
particularly in emerging
countries. A systematic review was
conducted, which included studies
focusing on social security, socio-economic
protection, informal workers,
unorganized workers, organizing,
and association in emerging economies.
It is observed that various forms
of association have significantly promoted
livelihood and ensured the
socio-economic rights of workers, but
partially in different contexts. This
study contributes to the informal
workers’ unionization and social protection
discourse by highlighting the
implications on research and practice.
