Informalisierung und Staat:

Die Türkei seit der neoliberalen Wende 1980

Abstract

Informal economy covers all activities which are not regulated by the state. Nevertheless, Turkey’s experience with structural adjustment since 1980 shows that the state played an active role in the expansion of the informal economy. Alterations in the legal framework as well as changes in the policy parameters of the economic activity enforced informalization in the labour and housing markets.
