Questions for Readings Week 4

1) What women's human rights are most consistently violated through working in the informal sector? Is it a result of faultiness in the structure of the system?

2) Can streetvending be entirely a situation of taking advantage of the worker or are there any benefits to the informal sector?

3) When talking about harrassment of streetvenders, Cohen comments, "Change is possible, but it depends on transparency and accountability. One approach is for policymakers and other authorities to involve vendors themselves in regulating markets" (page 13). Are those the only two things necessary for the change needed? Are there other solutions?
