Opis

This collection explores the impact of economic reforms in developing and transitional economies across the world. It examines such issues as: pressures for global integration; labour costs and their determinants - crucial factors in the success of economic strategies in attracting investment; and how wage levels, poverty and the important role of workers as part of a civil society are linked with the consequences of global integration. This text is useful reading for all those involved in labour and development economics as well as being of interest to policy makers.
