借鉴参与式研究，本文探讨了乌拉圭拾荒者（Uruguayanclasificadores）的国家正规化。它超越了非正式/正式的二元关系，而是提出了“帕拉正式”的概念来描述与受监管和征税领域平行存在的经济活动，以及“准正式”来描述由潜在的非正式实践支持的正式化过程。当不受监管时，clasificadministration在健康，金融和社会保障方面享有平行服务，这意味着“正规化”的好处必须从人种学角度进行探索，而不是假设。正规化的回收工厂内“准正规”活动的持续存在使非正式向正式过渡的简单叙述复杂化，并表明这一概念对拉丁美洲及其他地区的劳动政策研究可能有用。
Drawing on participatory research, this article explores the state formalisation of Uruguayanclasificadores(waste‐pickers). It goes beyond the informal/formal binary, instead proposing the concepts of ‘para‐formality’ to describe economic activity that exists in parallel to regulated and taxed spheres, and ‘quasi‐formality’ to describe processes of formalisation that are supported by underlying informal practices. When unregulated,clasificadoresenjoyed parallel services in health, finance and social security, implying that benefits of ‘formalisation’ must be explored ethnographically rather than assumed. The persistence of ‘quasi‐formal’ activity within formalised recycling plants complicates simple narratives of informal to formal transitions and suggests that the concept can be useful for the study of labour policies in Latin America and beyond.
