"Healthism" is the idea that a person's health is entirely their responsibility and moral obligation. It includes stressing the importance of personal dietary and lifestyle decisions on an individual's physical and mental health and wellbeing. This narrative promotes, among other things: the significance of physical activity (e.g. fitness), awareness and use of diets, the practice of yoga/meditation, as well as the use of preventive medicines and suplements to support one's own immune system.

The informal economy is the part of any economy that is not taxed or monitored by any form of government. The informal economy provides opportunities for employment and revenue generation bypassing formal requirements, e.g. setting up a shop without a business registration/licence, private bus owners hiring bus drivers without a formal employment contract, etc. However, it does not guarantee any social benefits such as health insurance or job security. Although it occurs in all countries, the informal sector is particularly pertinent in the Global South, making up a substantial portion of these economies.
