Employment, growth, and basic needs: a one-world problem
This report is concerned with both national and international aspects of a basic-needs strategy. International measures are essential to support the efforts of developing countries; but they are no substitute for a full commitment by those countries to the implementation of appropriate policies and reforms to satisfy the basic needs of their poorest citizens. The report is also concerned with the situation in industrialized countries. This report is divided into three parts. Part One (Chapter I) provides some background information on employment, income distribution, and poverty in the world. It then (in Chapter 2) proceeds to outline the rationale, targets, and broad approach of the proposed basic-needs strategy. Part Two reviews the national strategies of developing countries (Chapter 3), European socialist countries (Chapter 4), and industrialized market-economy countries (Chapter 5). Part Three of the report deals with international strategies. After a short discussion of the international setting (Chapter 6), it deals with adjustment-assistance policies and measures (Chapter 7), international migration and the brain drain (Chapter 8), the international aspects of technology (Chapter 9), and multinational enterprises (Chapter 10). These are all means through which the international division of labor is being constantly affected.
