Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How did the rich countries really become rich? In this provocative study, Ha-Joon Chang examines the great pressure on developing countries from the developed world to adopt certain 'good policies' and 'good institutions', seen today as necessary for economic development. His conclusions are compelling and disturbing: that developed countries are attempting to 'kick away the ladder' with which they have climbed to the top, thereby preventing developing countries from adopting policies and institutions that they themselves have used.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Explores major socio-economic trends that will define sub-Saharan Africa in the next three decades, focusing on the urgent need to create jobs in response to unprecedented demographic growth, through a combination of economic analysis and easy-to-read personal investment storiesThe near doubling of Africa's population by 2050 will lead to more than twenty million new job seekers entering the African labour market every year until then. Right now, Africa doesn't seem armed to offer jobs to this many people, resulting in possible unrest and intra-African or intercontinental migration flows, including to Europe. Climate change creates additional migratory pressure as it threatens the future of agriculture and livestock.The author explores the opportunities for increased job creation in Africa. Work provides income, and decent and meaningful jobs contribute to prospects and social stability. The evolution of the labour market is essential for the continent's future. Fortunately, Africa has some major strengths. The continent has the youngest population in the world and represents a wealth of creativity and innovation. Moreover, Africans excel in 'market-creating innovation': the ability to see market opportunities and innovations that others do not. Africans create their own jobs through micro and small enterprises. A young well-trained middle class, familiar with digital technologies, is emerging. Africa's abundant natural resources also attract global regional powers aspiring to secure access to critical raw materials, something the continent can use to its own advantage.Special attention goes to the European Union's Africa policy: the book takes a critical look at the European Union' intentions and approach and formulates recommendations to the European Commission. The author combines economic analysis with stories from twenty-five years of experience with impact investments in Africa. He challenges the typical pessimistic stereotypes about the continent and provides an optimistic vision of Africa's future. The Future of Employment in Africa: Demography, Labour Markets and Welfare explores the major socio-economic trends that will define the face of the sub-Saharan continent in the next three decades. It mainly focuses on the need to massively create jobs due to unseen demographic growth. The book combines economic analysis with stories of own investment experiences on the ground.
