A comparative study of incomes policies in other African countries highlights how easy it has often been for influential interest groups to escape incomes control

This article reviews recent developments in social dialogue demonstrating that consultation between government and key stakeholders contributes to labour peace, social stability and national development. After defining the stages through which social dialoguehas developed, the author explains the various ways in which it contributes to economic and social development.
