Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Informal workers organizing: Trends from Asia, Africa and Latin America -- Chapter 3. Organizing informality: the story from Nepal -- Chapter 4. Helping ourselves: organizing in Bangladesh -- Chapter 5. Organizing among informal workers of Uganda -- Chapter 6. Organizing lessons from Tanzania -- Chapter 7. Social solidarity perspectives from Brazil -- Chapter 8. Solidarity and cooperation in Peru -- Chapter 9. Construction workers and street vendors organizing: Ground view from India -- Chapter 10. Towards a new framework for organizing: Does pragmatism explain it all?

This book utilizes the School to Work Transition Survey (SWTS) of the ILO to discuss what shapes an individual worker's decision to participate in unionization and how her working condition is affected by that. There remains a disconnect as far as our understanding of the relationship between the labour's choice to unionize as individual actor and the broader socioeconomic, political and cultural context of that choice, is concerned. Using the SWTS data, the book focuses on the identification of the correlates of workers' propensity to unionize, the outcomes of unionizing and their synthesis with the wider political economy context to arrive at stylized patterns in the way informal workers exercise their agency. The book also reflects upon field data on organizing challenges of migrant workers in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The book does not claim to establish any causality but is interested in bringing out broad patterns that define informal workers' organizing in a particular context. In the process, the book ends up with the preposition that despite all the heterogeneities across regions, informal workers' organizing today can be understood through the lens of pragmatism. Neetu Choudhary is Associate Professor of Economics with the Amity University Patna, India and Adjunct Faculty with the Arizona State University, USA. She has been a Fulbright Fellow with the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, ASU. Dr Choudhary is a doctorate in Economics from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. She has published considerably in the area of nutrition and water insecurity, gender, and informal workers' organizing. Dr Choudhary was also awarded the Global Development Network Award for best research on development in 2014. Among her non-academic assignments, she has been engaged with several UN organizations.
