Abstract
Informal sector dynamics in urban Africa present complex socio-economic challenges that require a nuanced theoretical framework for understanding their impact on mental health and well-being. Not applicable The theoretical framework highlights the interplay between economic vulnerability and psychological distress within Mauritius's diverse informal sector landscape. Policy recommendations focus on improving access to mental health services tailored for informal sector workers and implementing measures to enhance their financial stability, such as microfinance initiatives.
