International Network for Knowledge and Comparative Socioeconomic Analysis of Informality and the Policías to be Implemented for their Formalization in the Europea Unión and Latn America

Project description

Informality and formalisation in the EU and Latin America

Performing comparative socioeconomic analysis of informality and policies to be implemented in the EU and Latin America requires formalisation. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the INSEAI 2023 project will create an international network to study and compare informal economies in the EU and Latin America. It includes academic and non-academic partners and entails training activities, and the development of tools to detect and prevent informality. The project will tackle seven critical challenges. It will enhance research organisation in the region on informal issues, increase the impact of research results on public policy, draw attention to informality as an endemic issue, and promote Open Science, gender equality, and network continuity.

Objective

The INSEAI project aims to create an international network for knowledge and comparative socioeconomic analysis of informality and policies to be implemented for its formalisation in the EU and Latin America. The interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach involves academic (nine from UE and seven from LA), non-academic (three from UE and four from LA), and four non-eligible funding entities. Training activities and debate events will be organised throughout secondments, and specific tools (to detect, prevent and avoid informality) will be developed with the network members and people from their environment's societal collaboration.
INSEAI Network faces at least seven critical challenges currently claimed by stakeholders at HEI in Europe and LA:
1) Raising the level of research organisation in the region in the informal issues covering the current state-of-the-art knowledge and formalisation governance lacks.
2) Multiplying the effect of research results opens the possibility of catching public policy interest.
3) Driving the PhD students' attention to informality as an endemic issue deeply rooted in the globalised dynamics changing people's lives and stratifying world peripheral capitalist positions.
4) Developing Open Science, promoting gender equality, and consolidating the network continuity.
5) Developing training tasks, exchanging knowledge and methodologies, and trying to innovate in analysis and quantification tools with the support of research and dissemination technologies.
6) Managing external databases and those generated by the network to offer tools (using big data, algorithms, apps) for public use in favour of informality knowledge and estimation and the formalisation processes governance.
7) Bringing together research and innovation interests from academic and civil society entities to understand the convergences and divergences in structuring labour markets and informality dynamics in regions with different degrees of development.
