Summary

Labour, Poverty, and Development provides rigorous economic analysis with the necessary theoretical underpinnings, detailing the causes, effects, and implications of the current situation in the developing world. Bringing together some of the world's foremost experts on development, the volume concentrates on three main areas: the relationship between employment, growth, and trade; the growth of urban labor; and the position in rural areas.
