Syarifah Namira Fitrania is a PhD Student in Economics at SOAS University of London.

In her research, Namira explores the intricate relationship between labour market informality and economic inequality in developing economies, with a particular focus on Indonesia. Situated at the intersection of labour economics, development studies, and political economy, her work examines how growth and structural changes shape patterns of informal employment and income distribution in the Global South. 

Namira aims to bridge theoretical frameworks with empirical evidence, utilising both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to unpack the complexities of labour markets in developing countries.

Namira holds an MSc in Economic Policy from SOAS University of London, as well as an MSc in Economics from Tilburg University (Netherlands) and a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Indonesia. She has been contributor to academic literature, with publications in journals and books on topics ranging from Indonesia's economic transformation to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Indonesian economy. 

With more than ten years of experience as a research economist and consultant, Namira has worked on various projects for government institutions, private companies, and NGOs. She has been involved in several government task forces, including the Job Creation Law and the Economic Policy Implementation Acceleration and Effectiveness Task Force, contributing to policy development and economic analysis in Indonesia.
