Description
The process of modernising traditional `labour intensive' industries is a vital issue for developing countries. The authors document in detail the alternative technologies that are available to Kerala's ailing coir industry and consider their implications in terms of wages, employment and production cost. Their findings point to a set of viable intermediate technologies that minimise social dislocation.
