Abstract

The study of informal sector in Kolkata is narrated as a standard case study of historical evolution of urban informal sector in India. Independent surveys of the author and other researchers serve as the basis of analysis. Kolkata earlier called Calcutta stands as a unique case as it hosted small, petty producers, migrant labour from the years of post-colonial development era of India. Then it faced the neoliberalism and Kolkata was also under a different political regime for a long time. The experience of Kolkata informal sector is different from many other cities of the country. The chapter studies Kolkata informal sector over the decades.
