Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

[edit]

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

value of informal sector

[edit]

In the Conclusions section, it's stated that "... with many people ending up in unproductive or underproductive employment in the informal sector..." However, in Todaro and Smith's 2009 edition of Economic Development, they cite two case studies in Delhi, India that state that the majority of migrant workers to cities come "Expressly to take up informal-sector work" (p. 357). They also delineate between lower-wage and higher-wage informal work in cities and imply that high-wage informal work may out-pay formal work. In short, is the statement "... with many people ending up in unproductive or underproductive employment in the informal sector..." an over-simplification of what we now understand?
