Informal Economy(also known as “underground economy” or “grey economy”)
The informal economy refers to activities and income that are partially or fully
outside government regulation, taxation, and observation.
...informal employment can provide a cushion for workers who cannot find a job
in the formal sector.

Targeted Universalism means identifying a problem, particularly one
suffered by marginalized people, proposing a
solution, and then broadening its scope to
cover as many people as possible. It sees
marginalized populations in American society
as the canary in the coal mine. It recognizes
that problems faced by particular segments of
American society are problems that could spill
over into the lives of everyone.

“Vulnerability sounds like truth and
feels like courage. Truth and
courage aren’t always comfortable,
but they are never weakness.”
Vulnerability is the birthplace of
innovation, creativity and change.
