This book was released on 2008 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report synthesizes the literature on the role of informal economic activity in the United States postindustrial economy. Informal economic activity is expanding in the United States and is likely to continue in the foreseeable future. The formal and informal economic sectors are inextricably intertwined, with individuals and households combining elements of both sectors to construct their livelihoods. Although the informal economy is often thought of as the domain of economically marginal individuals and households, virtually everyone participates in the informal economy to some extent. However, the literature highlights how factors such as social status and household position in the formal economy affect whether participation in informal economic activity is exploitative or empowering. The nontimber forest products sector serves as a case study of why it is important to consider informal economic activity when developing natural resource and economic development policy. We recommend steps policymakers can take to identify and encourage positive aspects of the informal economic activity. We also highlight several areas of research to improve understandings of the role of informal economic activity in postindustrial societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nova Scotia contracts non-profit organizations to deliver the majority of its public employment services system - Nova Scotia Works. This study asks how non-profit employment service providers in Nova Scotia integrate into their communities and promote place-based policy, programs, and services to address labour market needs. The goal of this research is to: understand the Nova Scotia employment services ecosystem, understand contracted non-profit service providers, determine the relationship between these organizations and their constituent communities, and explore whether non-profit employment services providers offer, or contribute to the development of, place-based employment services to the individuals they serve. Key informant interviews and qualitative data analysis tools were used in this study. The findings present a conceptual framework highlighting connecting, being present, internalizing, and operationalizing activities as ways for non-profit Nova Scotia Works contract holders to integrate and promote place-based services in their constituent communities. Contributions to non-profit theory and practice are made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its become an all too familiar headlineplant closes, employees laid off, another community plunged into economic despair. Stewart Perry looks beyond the headlines to our forgotten communities, showing what urban and rural areas can do and are doing to revitalize their sagging economies. The acknowledged authority in the field, Perry herein provides the first full-length systematic treatment of community-based economic development (CED). As the brainchild of the local residents and leaders, CEDs success is linked to the ability of community members to identify their particular problems and to formulate solutions for local change. Perry cites dozens of case studies from his own consulting experiences in communities in the United States and Canada, illustrating the practical and conceptual applications of the approach. New means to achieve the economic health of communities are illustrated by the efforts of diverse communities such as East Los Angeles; Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia; the Appalachian hillsides of southeastern Kentucky; the Hunts Point district of the Bronx; the Point St. Charles neighborhood of Montreal; and Hancock County, Georgia. The experience of each locality combines the human dimensions of community developmentthe psychological and cultural implicationsas well as the vital economic considerations. Perry demonstrates the innovative ideas developing out of the community development corporation strategy, both for encouraging local economic growth and rethinking national economic policy.
