N2 - Prof Lindsay Whitfield from CBDS discusses the situation of informal labor in Sri Lanka’s apparel export factories with Dr Shyamain Wickramasingha, a Visiting Fellow at CBDS and a Research Fellow at the University of Sussex Business School. Critiquing the mainstream view that working informally in apparel factories is women’s choice, Dr Wickramasingha explains why this view is too simplistic. She takes us through the origins of informal labor market, how it works and the implications for informal female workers and looks forward into how the dual formal and informal labor regimes could be changed.
