Energy, employment and basic needs. The social implications of energy scarcity in developing countries

Abstract

This survey of published work on energy and economic development has three objectives. The first is to determine the extent to which the term 'crisis' can validly be used to describe the energy situation in the medium- and long-term from the point of view of the developing countries. The second objective is to define and discuss the policy choices facing developing countries in the field of energy supply and demand, taking into account their social objectives such as the generation of productive employment opportunities and the eradication of poverty. The modern (industry, energy and transport) and traditional sectors are treated separately. Finally a research agenda is presented, focusing on a few key issues which might usefully be made the subject of data collection and economic analysis.
