The extant entrepreneurship literature is replete with competing narratives about the concept of informal sector (IS). Also, IS’ potential as a source of income and the behavioural tendencies of operators in the sector remain highly contested but under-researched. In particular, not much is known about the incentives and the motivations for engaging in informal economic activity from the perspective of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) context where a significant proportion of all economic activities are informal. Thus, the lack of conceptual clarity and consensus about the underlying factors driving individuals into informal economic activity constitutes a major knowledge gap. To fill this gap, this study seeks to clarify the domain of IS from a SSA viewpoint, and through this paves the way for a more holistic understanding of the behavioural tendencies and motivations of IS operators in SSA. Specifically relying on the institutional, social exclusion, and personality trait theoretical frameworks, the study demonstrates how a combination of separate yet related phenomena of personality traits, institutional factors, and more importantly, situational factors that manifest as perceptions of social exclusion serve as the incentives and the motivations to engage in informal economic activity in SSA. To achieve its goal, qualitative primary data obtained through thirty-eight semi-structured interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Nvivo. Firstly, the study found that institutional ambiguity, institutional delinquency, institutional passivity, and institutional incongruence are sources of voids in Nigeria's institutional framework that influence an individual to enter the IS. Secondly, social exclusion regarding lack of access to requirements such as finance and formal education to start and sustainably operate a business influences people to enter into the IS. Lastly, the findings indicate that personality traits’ influence regarding the decision to engage in informal economic activities is dependent on individual circumstances. These are valuable contributions to the stock of knowledge about the IS. Particularly, the identification and categorisation of four specific institutional voids and partitioning of the sources of exclusion; the finding that in adverse economic circumstances personality traits could influence potential opportunity-entrepreneurs to start-up in the IS; the finding about the role of trade associations; and the new understanding about the collaborative dimension of corruption in the context of IS practice, represent a significant contribution of this study. These contributions are valuable not just in terms of creating new windows of research opportunities, but also for evidence-based policy relating to the IS that is appropriately targeted at relevant groups. This is in addition to facilitating collaborations for business support, enlightenment, improved business practice, and inclusive growth.

Argumentamos que a superação da crise do modelo neoliberal de crescimento econômico, da crise do padrão de acumulação dependente e da crise do modo de produção capitalista tende a se dar por meio de mudanças estruturais vinculadas à situação dos 211 milhões de pobres na América Latina. Desta forma, encaramos a possibilidade da erradicação da pobreza como uma mudança social capaz de dar um mínimo de cidadania possível a essa população e de criar condições para futuras transformações. Afirmamos que a pobreza e a desigualdade, não sendo exclusivas do capitalismo, persistem e crescem neste modo de produção hegemônico no planeta devido a dois processos: 1) o crescimento econômico capitalista, ou seja, a expansão comercial e o investimento externo como processos que extraem o excedente dos setores e classes não-capitalistas (mercados externos) e constituem e consolidam nas áreas periféricas do sistema o imperialismo e sua contrapartida interna, a dependência; e, por outro lado, 2) a superexploração dos trabalhadores por meio da extração crescente de mais-valia (intensificando o trabalho e diminuindo os salários com relação ao valor da força de trabalho), e o processo simultâneo de inclusão marginal no sistema dos desempregados e pobres que trabalham (working poor). Isto é, o desenvolvimento e a dinâmica decorrente da própria expansão do capitalismo produz um exército industrial de reserva e, concomitantemente, um lumpemproletariado considerável. O exército de reserva é classicamente associado ao funcionamento econômico do sistema capitalista. Sustentamos aqui que o lumpemproletariado constitui-se também num produto do sistema capitalista, enquanto população economicamente marginalizada, socialmente excluída, e politicamente destituída dos seus direitos básicos. Em suma, uma transformação na condição dessa pobreza estrutural implica em mudanças estruturais que superem a condição de subcidadãos ou lumpencidadãos desses grupos excluídos. / We argue that in order to overcome the crisis of the neoliberal model of economic growth, the crisis of dependent-capitalist accumulation and the crisis of the capitalist mode of production we require structural changes linked to the livelihood of 211 million Latin American poor. In this way, we envisage the possibility of eradicating poverty as a social change capable to give a minimum of possible citizenship to this population and to create conditions for future transformations. We affirm that poverty and inequality, though not exclusively a capitalist phenomena, persists and grows in this global and hegemonic production model due the two processes: 1) Capitalist economic growth, such as the commercial expansion and the foreign investment, as processes extracting surpluses from non-capitalists sectors and classes (external markets) that constitute and consolidate the peripheral areas of the imperialist system, and its internal counterpart, dependency; on the other side, 2) the over-exploration of the workers by means of increasing extraction of plus-value (intensifying the work and diminishing the wages in relation to the value of the work force), and the simultaneous process of marginal inclusion in the system of the unemployed and the working poor. The development and the dynamics of the capitalist expansion produce an industrial reserve army together with a sizable lumpenproletariat. The reserve army is typically associated with the economic functioning of the capitalist system. We argue that the lumpenproletariat is also a by-product of the capitalist system, as a population economically marginalized, socially excluded, and politically destitute of its basic rights. In short, a transformation of the conditions of such structural poverty implies structural changes able to overcome the condition of sub-citizenship or lumpencitizenship of these excluded groups.

The children who participated in this study and their families arein a situation of social exclusion na primeira frase fica melhor and subjected to an impending removal from their place of living, Favela da Paz, in the district of Itaquera, located on the Zona Leste of the City of São Paulo. The study was undertaken during the arrangements for the 2014 World Cup and the concurring transformation of the surroundings of the Corinthians Stadium. The researcher interviewed the children at the "quadra", an open space in the center of the shanty town/favela, where the children play. Many of the shanty town's/ favela's activities take place on this same spot, including debating reunions about the issue of the removal. This study was carried out using the methods of participant observation and interviews with the children. Despite their usual elaboration as marginal subjects, in this dissertation, the children are treated as social agents in their own right, through whose perceived reality the broader conflict of social exclusion is analysed. Through the interaction of the researcher and the children, the act of playing (and associated practices) is considered of main importance for the children's elaboration of their surroundings and its related issues, such as conflicts over the urban territory, exemplified by the many social interferences their place of living is subjected to / A presente dissertação tem por objetivo central introduzir a criança como agente legítimo de perspectiva para pensar os processos de produção do espaço urbano. Sobretudo, em situação de exclusão social, aqui traduzida na possibilidade iminente da remoção das famílias moradoras da Favela da Paz, localizada no distrito de Itaquera, Zona Leste da cidade de São Paulo. Foi no momento dos preparativos para a Copa do Mundo de 2014 e das transformações do entorno do Estádio do Corinthians, que chamou a atenção do pesquisador, assumir essa favela como objeto de reflexão a partir da perspectiva das crianças que lá vivem. Era numa área aberta na parte central da favela, destinada a atividades dos moradores, inclusive reuniões relacionadas a tratar sobre a ameaça de remoção, que o pesquisador teve contato com as crianças que utilizavam esse mesmo espaço para brincar. Empreendeu-se, portanto, pesquisa de campo com a realização de entrevistas e observação participante, buscando assumir a criança como o agente para analisar esse conflito. Assim, a partir da interação entre pesquisador e pesquisado, contatou-se a importância da brincadeira, e das práticas implícitas a ela, como meio de elaboração das crianças frente a questões envolvendo a disputa pelo espaço, figuradas, principalmente, como interferências nesse mesmo lugar

We deal, thus the provision of adult education courses in Basic Education - Phase I (1st to 4th grades), the responsibility of the public health system, and elementary - Phase II (5th to 8th grades) and Secondary Education State Center Basic Education for Youths and Adults CEEBJA Teacher Joaquina Mattos Branco, the responsibility of the state public. Let us resume, for both the historical antecedents of adult education in Brazil, from the movements of the "Enthusiasm for Education" and "Teaching Optimism." In this historic return, the 1990s was fundamental for establishing the basis for our analysis, since the EJA had the right formalized into law, a duty of a mandatory bid for the Brazilian from the 1988 Constitution. In the 1990s, so it was possible to verify the commitments to the kind of adult education at the International Conferences, National and State Boards of Education, which were decisive for the elaboration of educational policies that led to programs / projects to meet the literacy framework in Brazil and the state of Paraná contributed to strengthen the implementation of pedagogical presence. We found that over a period of about three decades, the legislation Parana on the provision of adult education has undergone many changes with regard to the form of care (for face semi-distance), the workload and the age required for admission and enrollment in courses for Supplemental Examinations. Regarding the data in the supply of adult education in Cascavel we can say that the indices did not finish the courses and enrollment in Supplemental Examinations were exorbitant demystifying to some extent, the supposed belief that the ticket for adult education, through the Examinations Supplemental is a quick and easy route to obtain certification. / Neste trabalho examinamos a forma de constituição e de organização da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) no Estado do Paraná, a partir do início da década de 1970 até a atualidade, bem como a sua oferta no município de Cascavel, no período de 2006 a 2008. Tratamos, desse modo, da oferta dos Cursos de EJA do Ensino Fundamental Fase I (1ª a 4ª séries), de responsabilidade da rede pública municipal, e do Ensino Fundamental Fase II (5ª a 8ª séries) e Ensino Médio do Centro Estadual de Educação Básica para Jovens e Adultos CEEBJA Professora Joaquina Mattos Branco, de responsabilidade da rede pública estadual. Retomamos, para tanto, os antecedentes históricos da EJA no Brasil, a partir dos movimentos do Entusiasmo pela Educação e do Otimismo Pedagógico . Neste retorno histórico, a década de 1990 foi fundamental para traçarmos as bases de nossa análise, uma vez que a EJA teve o direito formalizado em lei, como dever de oferta obrigatória pelo Estado brasileiro a partir da Constituição de 1988. Na década de 1990, portanto, foi possível constatar os compromissos assumidos com a modalidade de EJA nas Conferências Internacionais, Nacionais e Fóruns Estaduais de Educação, os quais foram decisivos para elaboração de políticas educacionais que resultaram em programas/projetos para enfrentar o quadro de analfabetismo no Brasil e no estado do Paraná contribuíram para fortalecer a implantação da proposta pedagógica presencial. Constatamos que, num período de aproximadamente três décadas, a legislação paranaense referente a oferta de EJA sofreu inúmeras alterações no que diz respeito à forma de atendimento (semipresencial para presencial), à carga horária e a idade exigida para o ingresso nos cursos e inscrição para os Exames Supletivos. Em relação aos dados da oferta de EJA no município de Cascavel podemos afirmar que os índices de não concluintes nos Cursos e as reprovações nos Exames Supletivos foram exorbitantes desmistificando, de certa forma, a suposta crença de que o ingresso na EJA, por meio dos Exames Supletivos, é um caminho fácil e rápido para a obtenção de certificação.

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka platsens betydelse för arbete med kvinnors deltagande i offentliga rum i stadsdelen Vårberg; vilka strategier som studiens urval av verksamheter använ-der samt vilka värden som verksamheterna arbetar utifrån. Urvalet består av totalt åtta stycken respondenter: en privatperson samt sju stycken representerar från sex stycken olika verksam-heter. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats med fallstudie som forskningsmetod. Empirin har samlats in genom semistrukturerade enskilda intervjuer och analyserats med hjälp av tematisk analys.Studiens resultat har analyserats genom tidigare forskning kring trygghetsskapande arbete istorstäder, samt genom teorier om social exkludering, intersektionalitet samt förtroende ochtillit. Resultatet visar att fördomar om platsen bidrar till social exkludering, samt att kvinnor haren särskilt utsatt position i Vårberg. Kvinnor är både en målgrupp och verktyg för såväl socialinkludering som trygghetsskapande arbete i stadsdelen. Den sociala inkluderingen syftar delstill kvinnors deltagande i offentliga rum, dels till kunskapshöjande och sociala aktiviteter fördeltagande i en mer abstrakt samhällsgemenskap, exempelvis arbetsliv och sociala nätverk. / The aim for this study is to investigate the significance of location as well as which strategies and values the organizations used in the study strive for in relation to women’s participation inpublic spaces in the district of Vårberg. The sample consists of a total of eight respondents: one individual and seven representatives from six different organizations. The study has a qualitative approach with case study as a research method. The empirical data has been collected through semi-structured one-on-one interviews and analyzed using a thematic analysis. The study's results have been analyzed through previous research on safer cities as well as sociological theories of social exclusion, intersectionality and trust. The results show that prejudices surrounding the place contribute to social exclusion, and that women have a particularly vulnerable position in Vårberg. Women are both a target group and a tool for both increasing general social inclusion as well as safety-work in the district. The work of social inclusion seeks to affect women’s participation in public spaces and to broaden their participation in a more ab-stract social community.

Ces trois dernières décennies, de multiples recherches ont été menées sur le capital social afin de comprendre son fonctionnement, son importance sur l’être humain, son impact sur le bien-être de l’individu et son implication dans le bon fonctionnement de la société. De son côté, la théorie des capacités développée par Amartya Sen met en exergue des concepts essentiels pour l’économie du développement. Cette approche est centrée sur l’individu et laisse de côté le versant collectif de la problématique du développement. L’importance et l’impact des réseaux sociaux sont ignorés dans l’approche des capacités. Les réseaux sociaux, en manifestant l’implication des individus dans des groupements et des actions collectives, offrent un lien évident avec les capacités des individus aussi bien qu’avec leur capital social. Cet aspect a été développé par Giraud et al. (2013). Un autre déterminant ne doit pas être négligé dans le processus de développement : le bonheur ou bien-être subjectif. L’un des intérêts majeurs du capital social n’est-il pas de contribuer au bien-être subjectif des individus ? Ce dernier n’est-il pas une mesure, parmi d’autres, du «développement» ? A quoi bon accumuler du capital social ou déployer des capacités, fussent-elles relationnelles, si cela n’ajoute rien au bonheur ? Ces différents concepts et les liens qui les unissent, ne sont pas suffisamment approfondis dans la littérature. Cette thèse propose de tester différentes réponses possibles à la question : quels sont les liens entre capital social, capacités relationnelles, bonheur et développement économique ? / Welfare economics in a behavioral world is gaining increasing traction for research in economics and social sciences at large. Especially the last three decades, ever more research efforts have been directed to understand welfare better. Social capital has been one of the prime candidates and now a domain of research. Research is undertaken to understand its importance, how it operates, and what impact it has on the well-being of an individual and the health of a society. The capabilities approach developed by Amartya Sen highlights the fundamental role of economic development that focuses on the improving individual capabilities and expanding choice sets of each individual. However, this capability approach is individual-centric and inadvertently leaves out the shared or the collective nature of an individual’s existence. The social networks/interconnectedness is not addressed in the capability approach of Sen. At the same time, the social networks embody the mobilization of individuals in groups, association, and civic action. This aspect is developed by Giraud et al. (2013), called the relational capability approach. Another major research domain that cannot be neglected in the economic or human development evaluation is happiness (or subjective well-being). The concept of subject well-being is closely related to the social capital domain. In the literature, these concepts of social capital, relational capabilities, subjective well-being and development, and especially the linkages between them are not well explored or explicitly studied. This is the primary motivation for this dissertation.

We chose the city of Guaruja, in Santos, for being one of the places of highest demand of this population. Its specific objectives: a) outline the profile of the homeless city of Guaruja - SP, according to age, education, work status, family structure and reason lies in the streets; b) Check for diagnosis of chronic and / or comorbidity and perceived health - disease of the homeless city of Guarujá - SP; c) Identify the means of access to and control of chronic disease comorbidities in places providing health services in the city of Guarujá - SP; d) assess the perception of risk and the impact of social stigma on the emotions of the homeless city of Guaruja - SP. Qualitative research was used in this work, because this approach works with a plethora of meanings, motives, aspirations, beliefs, values and attitudes acquired in the historical and social process that set of human phenomena are understood as part of social reality. The results confirmed male dominated, with low education leading them to provide informal jobs and low quality; most respondents have compromised to the point of interfering with their health conditions of survival feelings and emotions like fear sadness, longing and abandonment of the family were evident during this research. It was also noted in the reports attitudes of violence against this population by civil guards the city, which increases the risk experienced by those who only have the streets for shelter. The access to these health services is made primarily by the Emergency Unit and the Emergency PSUs when they are accompanied or referred to this service. The analysis and discussion of the results was performed from three angles: Axis 1: Living Conditions; Axis 2: Health, disease and access to health services; Axis 3 and discussed the representations of the homeless on health and disease. We conclude that the city of Guarujá, as well as many other Brazilian cities, still has a long way to go in serving the population. Has need to implement municipal social policies in accordance with the National Policy for the homeless population that recognizes their rights and guarantee the minimum conditions of citizenship. / Este trabalho buscou conhecer a população em situação de rua, suas condições de vida, de saúde - doença e o acesso destes às instituições públicas prestadoras de assistência à saúde. Escolhemos a cidade de Guarujá, na Baixada Santista, por ser um dos locais de maior procura dessa população. Teve como objetivos específicos: a) Delinear o perfil do morador de rua da cidade de Guarujá - SP, segundo idade, escolaridade, situação de trabalho, estrutura familiar e motivo pelo qual se encontra nas ruas; b) Verificar a existência de diagnóstico de doenças crônicas e/ou morbidades e a percepção de saúde - doença do morador de rua da cidade de Guarujá-SP; c) Identificar as formas de acesso para controle de doenças crônicas e morbidades nos locais de prestação de serviços de saúde na cidade de Guarujá-SP; d) Avaliar a percepção de risco e o impacto do estigma social nas emoções do morador de rua da cidade de Guarujá ¿ SP. Foi utilizada neste trabalho a pesquisa qualitativa, porque esta abordagem trabalha com o universo dos significados, dos motivos, aspirações, crenças, dos valores e atitudes, adquiridos no processo histórico social e esse conjunto de fenômenos humanos são compreendidos como parte da realidade social. Os resultados confirmaram predominância masculina, com baixa escolaridade levando-os a prestação de trabalhos informais e de baixa qualidade; a maioria dos entrevistados tem a saúde comprometida a ponto de interferir nas suas condições de sobrevivência sentimentos e emoções como medo tristeza, saudade e abandono dos familiares foram evidentes durante essa pesquisa. Também se observou nos relatos atitudes de violência praticadas contra essa população por parte de guardas civis do município, o que aumenta o risco vivenciado por quem só tem as ruas como abrigo. O acesso destes aos serviços de saúde é feito basicamente pelas Unidades de Urgência e emergência as UPA¿s, quando são acompanhados ou encaminhados para este serviço. A análise e discussão dos resultados foi efetuada a partir de três Eixos de Análise: Eixo 1: Condições de Vida; Eixo 2: Saúde, doença e acesso aos serviços de saúde; e no Eixo 3 foi discutido as representações do morador de rua sobre saúde e doença. Concluímos que a cidade do Guarujá, assim como tantas outras cidades brasileiras, ainda tem um longo caminho a percorrer no atendimento à população. É preciso implementar políticas sociais municipais de acordo com a Política Nacional para população em situação de rua que reconheça seus direitos e garanta as condições mínimas de cidadania.
