dc.description.abstract | Globally, 2 billion of the world’s employed population
aged 15 and older work informally, representing 61.2
percent of global employment, with the vast majority
of employment in Africa (85.8 percent) being informal
(ILO, 2018). In Uganda, nearly 14 million or 98 percent of
Uganda’s total working-age population is engaged in the
informal sector; of these, 87 percent are women workers.
The informal sector has, for the last decade, consistently
contributed more than 55 percent to the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP). In Kenya, the informal sector by 2019
provided a livelihood to approximately 15 million people
and absorbed up to 88 percent of the women workers,
according to the International Labour Organization.
The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW)
is implementing REBUILD, a research project that seeks
to understand how the social and economic impact of
the COVID-19 crisis and policy response affected informal
women workers of Kenya and Uganda. ICRW undertook
a review of secondary data on the effect of the COVID-19
pandemic on informal women workers in Kenya and
Uganda. This report presents summary findings and
recommendations from our study, we conducted an
analytical review of data from institutional reports,
published articles, journal papers, policy reports, and
secondary data analysis | en |
