O setor informal em uma dinâmica de desenvolvimento local: indústria, família e território

Resumo

This paper analyses the organization dynamics of production
micro units in Rio Grande do Su’s Vale do Sinos region. This study
locates itself in the intersection of two problems: one which refers to
the issue of informality, and another which uses the recent
contributions to development economics articulated by the concept
of "local productive system". Our aim is to show that the working
rationality of these activities is combined with a territorial logic that
explains most of its dynamism in the studied region.
