Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing & Organizing (WIEGO) is an organization that focuses on the informal economy. The non-profit company is based in Manchester, UK. The British company recently held a research conference at Harvard University to mark their 20th anniversary and identify new paths for research and thinking on the informal economy. The organization recognizes the risks that domestic workers face during the pandemic due to their work requiring them to be in close contact with individuals and items that may be carrying the virus.
