The informal economy. What do we know about it? Have high taxes really contributed to the growth of the informal economy? Are women more likely than men to work in the informal sector(e. g. child care, cleaning jobs, barter, sex trade workers, domestic workers). How are women's financial security and economic autonomy affected if they work in the informal economy? Should there be policies to discourage the growth of the informal sector? 2, record 1, English, - informal%20economy

L'économie parallèle. Que savons-nous à ce sujet? Les impôts élevés ont-ils réellement contribué à la croissance de l'économie parallèle? Les femmes sont-elles plus susceptibles que les hommes de travailler dans le secteur informel (p. ex. la garde d'enfants, le nettoyage, le troc, les travailleuses du sexe, les travailleuses domestiques)? Quelles sont les conséquences du travail dans l'économie parallèle pour les femmes sur le plan de la sécurité financière et de l'autonomie économique? Devrait-il y avoir des politiques pour décourager la croissance de ce secteur? 6, record 1, French, - %C3%A9conomie%20parall%C3%A8le

On doit l'expression économie informelle aux sociologues anglais J. Gershuny et R. Pahl qui y associaient le travail au noir, l'économie domestique, l'autoproduction et l'économie communautaire. Dans l'article du Devoir (10 janvier 1983, page 11) on dénombrait plus de quarante synonymes pour qualifier ce type d'économie : non officielle, invisible, occulte, souterraine, clandestine, parallèle, alternative, etc. 7, record 1, French, - %C3%A9conomie%20parall%C3%A8le

We also need to eliminate the possibility that our sense of responsible citizenship and our "community-mindedness" might be undermined by the false impression that technology is taking care of things. For example, witnesses to an accident could come to rely on a video camera recording the relevant details and feel that they had no obligation to report what they had seen. Instead, they would rely on the anonymous person who views the video recording to do the job that a citizen ought to have done. 2, record 10, English, - responsible%20citizenship
