Description: "Using a survey of 650 families, thorough study compares worker and firm characteristics in the informal sector to those found in the formal sector and in other nations' urban informal sectors. Finds that problems in the sector are aggravated by migration into Managua encouraged by greater employment opportunities and income possibilities. National policies to reduce underemployment in the agricultural sector, combined with increased access to education and credit in the informal sector, may alleviate these problems"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
