Decent work and adequate housing for households at the base of the pyramid

In collaboration with Habitat for Humanity’s (HFH) Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter, the Lab conducted a market systems analysis of the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) housing construction services market in Peru to better understand the factors that limit access to decent work as well as discern the relationship between decent work and housing quality.
The study identifies key constraints inhibiting better working conditions in the sector and improved access to adequate housing, and lays out a set of interventions notably aimed at improving technical and business development training functions, facilitating social protection for workers and fostering enhanced cooperation between different actors present in the market.
