Labour Markets in Low-Income Countries
Abstrak
Abstract Chapter 1 serves as the introduction into the topic of the book, presenting the demographic background of low-income countries’ (LICs) struggle for better labour market performance and the focus of the joint Growth and Labour Markets in Low-Income Countries (GLM|LIC) programme of the UK Government and the IZA – Institute of Labor Economics. Despite the importance of studying labour markets in LICs and investigating which policies are more successful, the evidence remained, until recently, rather limited. Against this backdrop, the joint IZA/FCDO (German IZA – Institute of Labor Economics and the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office) and the GLM|LIC programme was established in 2011 after identifying an important research gap on labour markets and growth in LICs. The GLM|LIC programme has taken important steps to close this gap. The chapter provides a brief overview of the subsequent chapters of the volume.
