Inequality depends on forces and factors at different levels, local, national, or international, either directly – through the mechanisms of globalization – or indirectly, in the ideas, models and theories that set the global stage and eventually influence national behaviour. The role of these factors and their intersection is examined as part of a longer term historical process that shapes economies, labour markets and labour institutions, and so determines the pattern of inequality.Text1 digital file (216 p. : ill.)application/pdfenHISTORICAL ANALYSISECONOMIC DISCRIMINATIONSOCIAL GROUPSEMPLOYMENT POLICYREGIONAL DISPARITYINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKLABOUR LEGISLATIONOCCUPATIONAL STRUCTUREECONOMIC EQUITYSynthesis Report
