Description
Explores developments in the labour markets of five countries – South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines – which have undergone successful economic development during the past quarter of a century. The developments are in areas such as employment, earnings, industrial relations and social security measures. The author’s methodology is comparative by specific subject, so that a correlation of developmental stages and the emergence of particular features of the labour market emerges. In this study, cross-country comparisons are made in terms of specific aspects of the labour market. The book should prove of interest to economists, political scientists and sociologists concerned with the problems of development.
