R. Paul Shaw has travelled widely in the Arab world, obtaining data
and gathering impressions first-hand from national and local
planners. In this book, he identifies population and manpower
problems that are likely to become more serious and more difficult
to solve if they are neglected at this early stage of Arab
development. He focuses on five broad areas which are directly or
indirectly related to mobilizing human resources, and his book will
be of special interest to all those who are concerned with such
issues as population, migration, employment, inequality, the
emancipation of women, construction and agriculture. Dr Shaw
proposes policy directives which are sensitive to the problems as
they are seen by the Arab governments themselves, and sets out
practical guidelines which can be used by Arab planners and
policy-makers. An important feature of the book with respect to
current literature on Arab development is that it moves away from a
preoccupation with growth-related investments to a concentration on
development-related population, manpower and employment issues. By
bringing together such comprehensive empirical and bibliographic
information, it will also be invaluable as a reference source for
some twenty Arab countries. First published in 1983.
