Product Specification & Summary

Editors, Dev Nathan and Akhilesh K. Sharma, Foreword by Alakh N. Sharma.

South Asia is one of the fast growing regions of the world economy. But because high growth 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 as well, there is a high level of 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.
