First sentence: Although research on the formal economy has well documented work- place inequities across men and women in terms of opportunities, authority, pay, and the relationship between domestic responsibilities and paid-work (see Reskin &amp; Padavic, 1994), there has been much less attention paid to the extent to which gender influences the earnings, opportunities, and labor processes in the informal economy.
