dc.description.abstract	Reforming bankruptcy laws is difficult for many reasons. First of all, attitudes in Italy toward bankruptcy make it a difficult subject to generate support for. Secondly, bankruptcy reforms are complex and lengthy. They require changes not only to the bankruptcy law but also to other important parts of the legal framework, such as the codes of civil procedures and, in the case of Italy, the penal code. Finally, they require support from those that must implement them. This paper outlines the author experience in leading the commission for the reform of the bankruptcy law and the lessons learned from it.	en

Voluntary Savings Schemes to Protect Informal Workers in Jordan

Rother, Friederike; Chartouni, Carole; Sanchez-Reaza, Javier; Brodersohn, Ernesto; Pallares-Miralles, Montserrat (2022-04)

This paper proposes a framework of voluntary savings schemes (VSS) in Jordan that can complement the current formal sector arrangements to better protect informal workers against economic shocks, unemployment, old age, or disability. As benefits of traditional mandatory pension systems worldwide have been cut substantially since the 1990s, voluntary defined contribution schemes are increasingly trying to fill the gap. In many countries, including in low-income countries, special voluntary savings schemes have been introduced to protect informal workers. Blending the knowledge from best practices internationally with the cluster methodology developed specifically for Jordan, the paper provides an overview of the current system of social security in Jordan and presents policy options to lower informality, extend social protection coverage, and provide more adequate protection to ...

Decentralization and the Provision of Public Services : Framework and Implementation

Kim, Aehyung (2008-01)

This paper discusses decentralization (administrative, fiscal and political) of government in public service provision. It aims to facilitate understanding among practitioners, policy makers, and scholars about what decentralization entails in practice compared to theory. A review of the empirical literature and experience of decentralization is presented. The paper highlights issues that policy makers in developing and transitional countries should be aware of when reforming government, considering their unique political and economic environment. The author argues that decentralization produces efficiency gains stemming from inter-jurisdictional competition, enhanced checks and balances over the government through voting at the subnational level, and informational advantages due to proximity to citizens. By contrast, arguments against decentralization include the risk of an ...

Gendered Laws, Informal Origins, and Subsequent Performance

Hyland, Marie; Islam, Asif (2021-08)

This research explores the relationship between laws that discriminate on the basis of gender and the probability that a female-owned business begins operating in the informal sector. This is achieved by tracing the origins of formal businesses surveyed in the World Bank Enterprise Surveys and merging this with information on the level of legal equality between genders as measured by the Women, Business and the Law database. In addition, the research explores whether starting a business informally has any differential effect on subsequent firm performance depending on the gender of the owner(s). The results show that gender discriminatory laws increase the likelihood that firms with female owners will begin operations in the informal sector; as expected, this does not hold for enterprises that are solely owned by men. Furthermore, the research provides evidence that firms that began ...
