IntroductionThe International Journal of Care and Caring (IJCC) commences publication with the present issue. In this opening editorial article we set out our vision for the new journal, which -as we will show -creates a timely and significant new space for critical engagement with global scholarship, policy and practice on care and caring. The article has three aims: to describe what will be distinctive and different about the International Journal of Care and Caring; to highlight our ambitions for it, including our determination that the new journal will have genuine global reach and international impact; and to explore some of the many different dimensions of research, scholarship and debate on care and caring which we hope to see further explored and developed in future issues of IJCC.As members of IJCC's Editorial Team, each of us has contributed to the founding concept for the journal, described here. We have been guided in this by our shared conviction that care and caring is a topic of huge and growing importance. We are persuaded, too, that within care and caring there is scope for significant theoretical and empirical development, and a real need for a new journal in which international scholarly debate on care and caring, based in sound research and scholarly endeavour, can emerge and thrive. We also believe that robust evidence and scholarship have the capacity to influence policy, practice and public discourse about care and caring, and in so doing to shape a more positive lived reality of caring relations and contexts around the world. 2These convictions underpin the vital and challenging agenda which lies before scholars and other researchers in the field of care and caring, in whichever part of the globe they and their studies are located. As we will explain, care and caring are central to human life and relations; associated with a wide range of emotions (spanning, for example, grief to joy, patience to exasperation, fear to security; and living and dying); and also -especially as the capacity to extend and save lives increases -have profound implications for the distribution of human, economic and other resources, in global, national and local contexts.Together we have sought international support for the idea of a new journal on care and caring across multiple disciplines, bringing the International Journal of Care and Caring to fruition as a new journal of the Policy Press. Giving it their strong support, distinguished scholars from diverse disciplines have highlighted the unique contribution IJCC can make, describing it as 'long overdue', 'exciting', 'timely and significant', and as a development which will 'bring a new level of scholarship and attention to issues facing our humanity for the future'. They also highlight its capacity to provide 'an important international and interdisciplinary evidence base'; to become 'essential reading' for 'academics, policy makers and practitioners interested in the complexities and nuances of care and caring'; and to 'create new synergies for the rising ...

“…Há até quem discuta sobre se o conceito de sector informal é ou não útil e, de igual modo, se o dualismo formal e informal constitui um instrumento válido de análise (BREMAN, 1976;AMIN, 1996;MCGEE, 1996;WARING, 1999). Sublinho os factos da volumosa bibliografia sobre o fenó-meno, em variadas línguas (citarei apenas alguns textos de maior interesse, seleccionados, sobretudo, entre os mais recentes), ter consolidado a utilização da expressão 'sector informal' e do estudo dele ter posto em causa teorias econó-micas aceites como universais.…”

Finisterra, XL, 79, 2005, pp. 53-72'There is mounting evidence that the informal sector of African economies is far larger and more complex than previously thought ' (MIRACLE et al., 1980). 'O informal é, não obstante, o principal regulador económico e social e revela um dinamismo projectado para o futuro' (HUGON, 1999).Resumo -Em homenagem a CARLOS ALBERTO MEDEIROS, o autor do artigo, depois de recordar, no Preâmbulo, alguns pontos importantes da brilhante carreira universitária de quem foi seu aluno e colaborador e das relações mútuas de amizade e respeito, aborda o tema da importância do sector informal da economia urbana em países da África Subsariana em duas partes -1. Sobre o informal e a informalidade da economia urbana; e 2. Sobre a multi-segmentação do sector informal -com uma Conclusão. Produtos de reflexão ao longo de alguns anos, com base em observações pessoais no terreno, em inúmeras consultas bibliográficas e permutas de conhecimentos com outros especialistas das ciências sociais, o autor oferece ao homenageado as primícias de um livro em elaboração.A primeira parte começa com reflexões sobre a expressão 'sector informal', desde há muito universalizada, e de outras que ainda são usadas, a validade do dualismo formal-informal como instrumento de análise, prosseguindo com exemplos de diferenças entre os dois sectores (Quadro I), às relações entre eles e à existência de formas intermédias, e dados sobre a importância e expansão do informal, que assegura a sobrevivência da maioria dos habitantes das cidades. A segunda contém matérias sobre a miríade de actividades, pequenos negócios ou ofícios, individuais, familiares ou mesmo 'empresariais' que animam mercados e ruas, com forte expressão dos produtores e vendedores ambulantes (papel primordial das mulheres), muitos deles saídos do mundo rural e imigrantes estrangeiros fixados há pouco tempo nas urbes (Quadro II). Numa proposta de outro autor (Quadro III) ressaltam as dificuldades da construção de uma tipologia das numerosas micro-actividades e de traçar fronteiras nítidas entre o formal e o informal. Em Conclusão são sublinhadas a realidade, a complexidade, a expansão e a importância incontestáveis do sector informal da economia urbana. Daí a necessidade de o estudar no terreno, tendo em conta o seu enquadramento mais amplo, e não como uma forma marginal ou marginalizada, mas como um fenómeno estrutural.Palavras-chave: África subsariana, países em desenvolvimento, economia urbana, sector informal e sector formal, informalidade; actividades multi-segmentadas, pequenos ofícios, emprego e rendimentos, pobreza e sobrevivência. Abstract -THE ROLE OF THE INFORMAL SECTOR IN THE URBAN ECONOMY OF THE SUB-SAHARIAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES'.In this paper, presented as a tribute to CARLOS ALBERTO MEDEIROS, the author begins by evoking some of the most important moments in the brilliant academic career of his former student and collaborator, as well as the feelings of mutual friendship and respect that bind the two. The subject of the importance of the informal sector i...
