In the second episode of the podcast "Talking Papers", we introduce informal work in Tunisia from a sociological perspective via the study "The street of Spain market or the essence of a street economy in Tunisia", carried out in October 2022 by a group of researchers under the direction of the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights (FTDES).

This empirical work was coordinated by Sofien Jaballah, a PhD holder and university teacher in sociology, who will explain the scientific approach of this research and shed the light on certain concepts that may seem unclear and others that are not well known by the general public.

This collective research analyzes this commercial activity carried out by the vendors of the Street of Spain at the heart of Tunis, using different scientific approaches: sociological, anthropological, cartographical and others, divided into 9 chapters.

This study was published in the context of the Arab Hub for Social Protection, which tries to understand and assess the social protection systems in the Arab world.

Talking papers

The Tunisian research scene at universities, other research centers, and civil society institutions produces dozens of valuable research papers each year. Nevertheless, this extensive production rarely finds its way to the general public and is only occasionally used to enrich the public debate. In a volatile political and social context, we try through this podcast to contribute to societal debates in Tunisia, by bringing to light, on each occasion, a research paper produced by a Tunisian researcher in humanities and social sciences, as well as in politics, economics, and law.
