Abstract

In the early 1970s, we participated in the debates on the informal sector initiated by Hart for Ghana (1971) and the ILO report concerning Kenya (1972) and we conducted several field surveys in Africa. In this paper, we first recall the founding debates, concerning petty commodity production. Then we look where we stand 40 years later, both in terms of theoretical analyses and performance of the "informal". Beyond the expansion of the informal, there is propinquity of the questions and results, while the global and national context of less developed countries has experienced a serious change. We take the African continent as an illustration.
