Description and Table of Contents
Description
The main focus of the papers appearing in the first part of the book is on inequality and its effects on growth, labour market integration and government policies. The book continues by dealing with migration, its determinants and its possible effect on the host country's output, employment and standard of living. Finally, the authors discuss economic growth and its relationship with trade, capital accumulation and internal and external debts.Economists and researchers studying development economics and migration studies will find this original book, with its innovative state-of-the-art studies, of great interest.
