The common theme is that of mobility in the labor market. As growth is related to sectoral shifts in economic activity, the mobility of labor plays a crucial role in ensuring sustainable growth whose benefits are shared amongst all individuals. The papers in this volume focus on selected priority issues at the frontier of research in the microeconomics of labor markets in developing countries, multi-segmented labor markets, the role of informal employment and self-employment, the effect of worker mobility on income, and the impact of firm dynamics on growth and employment. These are important parts of the puzzle and contribute to a better understanding of the role of employment in the economic development of low-income countries.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADBADJUSTMENT COSTSADVERSE CONSEQUENCESADVERSE EFFECTSALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCYASSESSING LABOR MARKETAUTONOMYBUSINESS CYCLECLOSED ECONOMYCOMPETITIVE LABOR MARKETSCOMPETITIVE MARKETCOMPETITIVE MARKETSCOMPETITIVE MODELCOMPETITIVENESSCONTRACT LABORCOST OF LIVINGCREATIVE DESTRUCTIONCULTURAL CHANGEDEFICITSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESSDEVELOPMENT EFFORTSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISSEMINATIONEARNINGEARNINGS LOSSESECONOMETRICSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MOBILITYECONOMIC POLICIESEFFICIENCY WAGE THEORYEMPLOYEEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT OUTCOMESEMPLOYMENT POLICIESEMPLOYMENT STATUSEMPLOYMENT TRENDSEXPENDITURESFAIRFAMILY LABORFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY RESOURCESFEMALE LABORFEMALE LABOR FORCEFIRM DYNAMICSFIRM GROWTHFIRM LEVELFIRM SIZEFISCAL POLICYFOREIGN WORKERSGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTGLOBAL POVERTYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHIGH WAGESHOUSEHOLD DYNAMICSHOUSEHOLD ENTERPRISEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME DISTRIBUTIONSINCOME INEQUALITYINDUSTRIAL RELATIONINDUSTRIALIZATIONINDUSTRY WAGEINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTINFORMAL SECTORINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC RELATIONSINTERNATIONAL POLICYINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVENTORYJOB CREATIONJOB DESTRUCTIONJOB SECURITYJOB SEEKERSJOB TURNOVERJOBSLABOR DEMANDLABOR DISPUTESLABOR ECONOMICSLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR LAWSLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET CONDITIONSLABOR MARKET EFFICIENCYLABOR MARKET INDICATORSLABOR MARKET INSTITUTIONSLABOR MARKET OUTCOMESLABOR MARKET POLICIESLABOR MARKET POLICYLABOR MARKET REGULATIONLABOR MARKET REGULATIONSLABOR MARKET SEGMENTATIONLABOR MARKETSLABOR MOBILITYLABOR ORGANIZATIONLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLABOR PROGRAMSLABOR REGULATIONLABOR REGULATIONSLABOR RELATIONSLABOR SUPPLYLABOURLABOUR DEMANDLABOUR MARKETLABOUR MOBILITYLABOUR OFFICELABOUR REALLOCATIONLEGAL STATUSLEGISLATIONLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFELONG LEARNINGLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESLOW-INCOME COUNTRYMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMANDATED BENEFITSMANPOWERMANPOWER POLICYMARKET ANALYSISMARKET FORCESMARKET SEGMENTSMARKET STRUCTUREMARKET THEORYMARKET WAGEMICROFINANCEMIGRATIONMIGRATION POLICIESMINIMUM WAGEMINIMUM WAGESMONETARY POLICYMONOPSONYNATIONAL LAWSNATIONALSNATURAL RESOURCENUTRITIONOCCUPATIONOCCUPATIONAL MOBILITYORGANIZED LABOROUTPUTSPAID WORKERSPAYING JOBSPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRECEDING SECTIONPRIMARY SOURCEPRIVATE EMPLOYMENTPRIVATE TRANSFERSPRODUCTION FUNCTIONPRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENTPRODUCTIVE FIRMSPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTREAL WAGEREAL WAGESRESPECTRICHER COUNTRIESRIGID LABOR MARKETSRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL EMPLOYMENTSAFETYSAFETY NETSERVANTSSERVICE DELIVERYSKILL TYPESOCIAL BENEFITSSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESSTANDARD OF LIVINGSUBSIDIARYSURPLUSSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSITION ECONOMIESUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYED PERSONUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNIONSUNSKILLED JOBSUNSKILLED LABORURBAN AREASURBAN ECONOMYURBAN EMPLOYMENTURBAN EMPLOYMENT SURVEYURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN POVERTYWAGE DETERMINATIONWAGE DIFFERENTIALSWAGE EMPLOYMENTWAGE GAPWAGE INEQUALITYWORK FORCEWORKERWORKER PRODUCTIVITYWORKERSWORKING CONDITIONSWORKING POORWORKING-AGE POPULATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7107-7
