摘要：AbstractMarginalized urban migrants thrive in informal economy, where health and safety are often neglected. Findings on previous studies have listed several informal characteristics; occupational injuries and diseases in informal setting; and components of health expenditure. This paper attempts to assess health-associated cost in informal industry through questionnaire containing basic information of respondent and household members, economic and occupational assessment. Different types of jobs surveyed, target population, biases from occupational/non-occupational cost and household/individual expenditure, and validation method are challenges that must be addressed. This paper serves as policy-tool reference to improve the well-being of informal workers by improving nationwide workforce survey.
