Research Abstract

The informal economy is the largest provider of non-agricultural jobs in may developing countries, and how this sector has been affected by the globalizing trend in production and distribution has become one of the key concerns of its policy makers and development professionals. In line with this, this research focused on how the ongoing globalization has affected the informal economies in developing countries, by looking at the case of the Vietnamese domestic market oriented garment industry, using the global value chain (GVC) framework. In light of upgrading possibilities of local informal industries in developing countries, and also in terms of its overall industrialization prospects, it has been argued that while export markets remain important avenues for industrial upgrading, there should be more emphasise on domestic market oriented policies to realize further sustainable growth.
