Aligning Economic and Social Goals in Emerging Economies - Employment and Social Protection in Brazil, China, India and South Africa (Hardcover)

Comparing the experiences of Brazil, China, India, and South Africa, this book highlights four challenges these countries currently face: converting growth into employment, building good labor institutions, finding the right balance between social protection and job creation, and dealing with inequality. As it demonstrates that each of these nations has tackled these issues applying different policies and encountering varying degrees of success, this account argues that employment is the key to ensuring that growth is both rapid and equitable. Calling for effective systems of social protection, it proves to be a valuable source material for any course in comparative economic development.
