An abridged version of Volumes 1 and 2 of the World Labour Report published in 1984 and 1985, this volume is the first in paperback of a new series that surveys major contemporary labor problems and issues throughout the world. Sifting and analyzing an abundance of previously unavailable material, the report provides a clear, concise, and objective survey of the social and labor questions of our time in both industrialized and developing countries, including labor relations and standards, work conditions and training, and women and work.
