商品描述

This book makes an innovative, sociologically informed contribution to academic and policy discussions about informal work, skills and training for lifelong learning (LLL) and the promise of decent work and just transitions for sustainable development. It does so with an explicit focus on challenges and opportunities as they shape informal economies and the experiences of informal workers in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Asia Pacific. The authors highlight historical and contemporary characteristics of informality in different regions from a political economy of LLL perspective. This political economy approach draws on theories of post- and neo- colonialism, space, place and globalisation, critical accounts of curriculum and pedagogy in skills and vocational education and training. The book will appeal to students and scholars of education, particularly adult education and LLL and technical and vocational education and training, as well as sociology, labour economics, and international and sustainable development.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書對於非正式工作、終身學習（LLL）的技能與訓練，以及可持續發展中體面工作與公正轉型的承諾，提供了創新且具社會學視野的貢獻，並參與學術與政策討論。書中明確聚焦於挑戰與機會，這些因素塑造了拉丁美洲和加勒比地區、中東和北非、撒哈拉以南非洲、中東歐以及亞太地區的非正式經濟及非正式工作者的經驗。作者從終身學習的政治經濟學視角，突顯了不同地區非正式工作的歷史與當代特徵。這一政治經濟學方法借鑒了後殖民與新殖民理論、空間、地點與全球化的觀點，以及對技能與職業教育訓練中課程與教學法的批判性分析。本書將吸引教育學的學生與學者，特別是成人教育、終身學習、技術與職業教育訓練，以及社會學、勞動經濟學和國際與可持續發展領域的研究者。
