Abstract

The informal economy in Uganda encompasses a significant portion of the country's workforce, yet its workers are often marginalized by formal labour laws and policies. A conceptual analysis drawing on existing legal frameworks and socio-economic data from Uganda's Ministry of Labour, Employment, and Social Protection. The theoretical framework elucidates how Labour Law can be adapted to better serve workers in the informal economy, highlighting the need for legislative reforms that reflect sectoral realities. Policy recommendations include advocating for comprehensive amendments to Labour Law to ensure equitable protection across all sectors and exploring innovative public-private partnerships to improve social welfare programmes.
