It came to mind that I had captured the informal sector at other times of day except for the the time when the party bugs come out. Yes that is right the night time. Now i knew of the pow man since i was a kid and upon asking my father as to how long has the pow man been there I found out it was longer than that. Yes this man has been perfecting the succulent art of Chinese cuisine for longer than my existence. The best part about it is that he makes the pows right there on the spot with a homemade steamer. The fact that he uses simple and non modern tools identifies him with the informal sector. He said he gets a lot of sales from students of the UWI as they rent nearby and take a stop by him when going to bars. Now the pow man only comes out at night. This nocturnal pattern has worked very well for him as he says it got his kids through school.
There are some other informal sector activities that I will not go directly into. They however do fit into the informal sector and can be quite profitable for those who work in it. This stems into ethical debates so is shall refrain from saying more.
but if you want to know here is a link to a song that may be applicable to it.
