{"product_id":"in-from-the-shadow-truman-packard-9780821395493","title":"In from the Shadow: Integrating Europe's Informal Labor","description":"What to do about the extent of unregulated informal employment and the size of the shadow economy is a dilemma that has been gaining urgency, particularly in Europe's periphery. The forces that accompany globalization put a premium on mobility and skill-renewal. Rapid population ageing will require that people work longer and be far more productive. To achieve this, social and economic institutions have to be more pro-employment, encouraging greater participation in the formal economy. And looking ahead, public financial resources will be increasingly scarce, giving urgency to measures that can significantly and sustainably increase tax revenue. This book is about workers in Europe who earn a living working full or part-time in untaxed markets for goods, services and labor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Truman Packard,Johannes Koettl,Claudio Montenegro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821395491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821395493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Truman Packard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443717386495,"sku":"9780821395493","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_374cd129-6af4-44a3-bcef-94380e78ceab.jpg?v=1777207353","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-from-the-shadow-truman-packard-9780821395493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
