Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a period of adjustment and structural change for most developing countries. The ongoing consequences of the debt crisis in the 1980s caused widespread concern of a serious deterioration in wage and employment conditions, as well as in poverty and income distribution. Although the outlook for developing countries changed for the better during the 1990s, concerns about the labour market have not subsided. This book takes a detailed look at employment trends in developing countries, bringing together a distinguished group of international academics and practitioners.
