Regional perspectives on labour and employment

This Volume 5 from the African Development Perspectives Yearbook series focuses on specific countries (South Africa, Nigeria), examines the employment impacts of development co-operation. The book - along with the previous Volume 4 ("Active Labour and Employment Policies in Africa") - not only present facts, trends and analyses, but also lay the foundation for a comprehensive strategy of employment creation and poverty alleviation in Africa. Therefore, the two books may be used for all those working for Africa's development - at the country, the sectoral and the project level. Development practitioners, government officials, business executives, and development researchers will experience the two volumes as indispensable works of reference. Up to now, there is no comparable work on Africa's labour and employment situation on the market.
