Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: A (91%), , language: English, abstract: Analyzing nocturnal economies in the Global South, this paper has noted that the concept plays a crucial role in urbanization and socio-economic development. Some areas that have benefited from increased demands due to urban development and changing lifestyles include hospitality, entertainment, and transport industries, especially at night. In Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, key cities showcase the economic benefits of night activities through employment and tourism. However, nocturnal economies are not without challenges, such as security issues, lack of infrastructure, poor and inconsistent policies, and sociocultural factors. Ideally, efficiency in policy reforms, infrastructure, security, and technology are critical for more sustainable growth. Licensing must be made simpler, night markets must be encouraged, and collaboration between the government and private entities must be encouraged. Mitigating these challenges and building on these opportunities can significantly improve the socio-economic development in the Global South and create sustainable and equitable nocturnal economies.
