In: The journal of development studies: JDS, Band 36, Heft 4
ISSN: 0022-0388
Introduces a special section underlining salient aspects of the relation between structural adjustment and employment. Seeks to place the findings of the authors in a coherent framework, and draw conclusions for policies and institutional changes as well as for further research. Identifies at least 3 distinct allocative functions of the labour market. Labour market outcomes cannot be dealt with as an afterthought to the reform process but must be built into reform from the outset. (Quotes from original text)
