- Title
The Informal Economy in Development: Evidence from German, British and Australian New Guinea.
- Abstract
As Conroy says, supportive policies to promote the informal economy are needed because it is too limited in scale in PNG and the contribution to national output is still too low. In the 1960s and 1970s, development economists in Papua New Guinea (PNG) agreed that there was a "singularity" in the PNG economy - the informal economy was almost non-existent across much of the country. Even so, by the time of PNG Independence in 1975, the urban informal economy in the Gazelle involving the Tolai was still quite small.
