SUMMARY:Enhancing Productivity in Informal Enterprises: Why a Mindset Shift Matters
DESCRIPTION:Informal enterprises account for a large share of employment and economic activity across the Asia-Pacific region\, yet their productivity remains persistently low. This P-Talk by Dr. Martha Alter Chen\, Co-founder\, Emeritus International Coordinator\, and Board Member of WIEGO in the United States\, examines a common issue in the way low productivity in the informal economy is addressed: treating informality itself as the main cause and treating formalization and conventional supply-side business support as the primary solutions. Dr. Chen explains why enhancing productivity in informal enterprises requires a different mindset and a reconsideration of conventional productivity concepts and measures. \nPlease click here to watch. \nSubscribe to our APO YouTube channel for more videos and updates on our activities. \nFor any inquiries\, please write to p-talk@apo-tokyo.org.
