Research of the World Employment Programme : Future Priorities and Selective Assessment

Research is an important part of the World Employment Programme (WEP), but it must form part of a package including technical co-operation, policy advice and field work, and must be policy oriented.

This book identifies WEP's priorities as being debts and structural adjustment labour markets, new technologies, rural employment, the urban informal sector and gender issues.

Its selective assessment focuses on technology, gender issues and rural employment.
