Description
South Asia Press Employment Social Protection And Inclusive Growth In South Asia by Akhilesh K Sharmaâ (Eds)Dev Nathan
"South Asia is expected to remain one of the fastest growing regions of the world. But because high growth—uneven across countries—came late, the economies are still either low income or low-middle income. With the exception of Sri Lanka all face serious problems of high levels of informal employment and poor human development. In the matter of gender participation in economic activity too there is high inequality. This volume explores employment policies, their outcomes, and social protection in five countries—Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. This book will be a useful reference for researchers, policymakers, and social scientists working on employment and social protection in South Asia. "
