Informal economy is a manifestation of developments in the capitalist world is an important aspect of the urban economy. The primary goal of this research was to conduct a sociological analysis of the informal economy in Mashhad's outskirts, as well as a case study of the Qala-e-Khiaban neighborhood. To reach the goal, informal occupations were first classified and described while identifying informal occupations in the Qala-e-Khiaban neighborhood. A qualitative research method, semi-structured interview techniques, observation, and focus groups were used in this study. Residents, merchants, members of local community councils, and neighborhood elites who lived in the investigated region consisted the statistical population of this study. The most important findings indicated that 84 jobs in the informal economy sector are located in 21 occupational groups in the Qala-e-Khiaban neighborhood. Sociological analysis of informal occupations was done based on eight variables, including poverty persistence, the presence of women and children, social status, social exclusion, job specificity, social health, job instability, and a sense of powerlessness. The results showed that based on the quantity presented for these variables using factor analysis and cluster analysis, the jobs identified in this neighborhood were categorized into two main types: including informal jobs and semi-formal jobs.

The present study focuses on the living experience of domestic workers. The research methodology is of qualitative type using narrative analysis method. The study population were female domestic workers in Tehran and through purposeful sampling, 15 persons of the study population were selected. Deep interview technique has been used to collect data. To analyze the data, the theoretical coding method has been used. The findings of this study show that the main theme of women turning to homework is "subordinate citizen" and the common denominator of women's life experience of doing housework is the experience of social inequality. In addition to getting aware of their class gap with the employer, deprived of social protection floor is a barrier to their job mobility. Domestic workers acknowledge the inferiority of domestic work and avoid social integration, so they try to hide their jobs for the fear of social exclusion. On the other hand, from an employer's point of view, doing housework is seen as an inherent responsibility of a woman. Domestic workers, due to their unique working conditions need to receive integrated support. Moreover, the right of domestic workers to maintain human dignity and health conditions must be considered in law and the rules.

Current study seeks to Phenomonography peddling among street vendors in Sanandaj City, In addition to interpreting their positions in the informal economic system, they should analyze the factors that shape and build peddlers in their social and cultural fields. In this way, we have used the relevant conceptual framework as a guide to work and conceptualization. This research has been done in the tradition of qualitative method, and the phenomenological method has been used to discover and extract categories in which participatory observation tools and in-depth interviews have been used to collect the required data. The current research field, the city of Sanandaj and Ferdowsi Street (between Azadi Square and Enghelab Square) are where we see many vendors offering a variety of goods and services. The sampling method of this research was purposeful, This means Talks have been held with people who, first, have lived experience of the phenomenon of peddling (vendors) and second, have deep knowledge and understanding of the creation of this situation (urban development agents). Based on this, using purposeful sampling and observing the maximum diversity based on age, sex and history of peddling, 21 sales and based on management history and type of device in charge, 6 interviews were conducted with urban development brokers up to data saturation stage. The information from the interviews in the phenomenological method and the principle of observing the consequential distance in this method were formulated in the form of 9 main concepts, so that based on logical communication and hierarchical character, the categories were shown in the form of a conceptual model. The concepts derived from the method studied are; peddling product of underdevelopment, The reality of borderline living (marginalization), Emptying society of social capacities, Tolerating social suffering, Invasion of prefabricated street economy, Impossible worlds of peddling, peddling as a life style, The formation of street policies, Stabilizing the underdevelopment of the informal economy. Historical conditions, geographical location, and the authoritarian and political view of development are among the important and influential factors that have made such a living world meaningful for the actors in this field.

The purpose of the present study is to identify the contexts and processes of shaping the informal life of waste pickers among Afghan workers in Tehran. The method we applied is a case study, and we have also used various observational and interviewing tools along with document analysis. We used Mixed Purposive Sampling to conduct this research, and a total of 57 individuals are interviewed, including urban managers and experts, contractors, sanitation workers, forepersons, Afghan waste pickers, and local activists and informants. The results show that various factors at the macro, medium, and micro levels facilitate the informal life of Afghan waste pickers in Tehran. These factors include economic and political situation in Afghanistan, cultural and familial features of Heratian workers, restrictive laws of Iran regarding foreigners’ employment and spatial access, working conditions and interactions in the waste field, roles played by urban hybrid governance, and finally the undignified status of this job among Iranians. Our findings show that several patterns of waste picking can be traced based on the geography of informal settlements and the diversity of economic partnerships with contractors among Afghan waste pickers in Tehran. We propose four informal economy models, including re-outsourcing, percentage partnership, maximum employer, and non-partnership with the contractor. These models of economic partnership have different implications for the power relations between waste pickers, intermediate forces, and contractors. In the re-outsourcing and non-partnership models, contractors have the least, and mediators have the most power. In comparison, the maximum employer model offers waste pickers the least autonomy and contractors the most power. Our findings reveal that there is an inseparable connection between the formal and informal realm of the waste field. They show that the informal arena is more connected to urban governance and urban political economy and less to the developmental issues.

One of the most worrying aspects of the development of the 1950s is the unprecedented growth of urban and urban labor force growth. The inability of countries to provide sustainable employment for an ever-growing workforce is one of the strongest barriers to economic and social change in cities in developing countries. In the city of Ilam, unemployment is a major problem that each year due to the population increase needs special attention. The city of Ilam, due to the political, economic and social center of the province every year, witnesses the massive formation of immigrants from different regions of the province, and therefore the number of people needing recruiting opportunities are being added and if there is no planning and large investments for a healthy employment of the urban laborer in Ilam, there will be a natural expansion of informal and alien activities in the city. The research method is descriptive-analytical and cluster study based on field operations (direct observation, completion of various questionnaires) and use of existing documents. The statistical population of the research (n) is 100,000 people. According to Cochran's formula, the sample size (N) is estimated to be 390. The classic random sampling method is one of the central areas of the city of Ilam. To assess the validity and reliability of the study, face-to-face and content validity method and re-test method were used and the reliability coefficient was 82%.The results of the research show that the lack of formal recruitment and lack of adequate capital and appropriate education has led to an increase in the staff of the non-governmental sector of the economic district of Ilam, as well as rural towns, which play an important role in the development and creation of this sector of the economy. The majority of employees in the informal part of Ilam city are protected and impoverished areas of the city.
