Labour Market Planning Revisited (Hardcover, 2002 ed.)

This book enables the reader to understand labor markets and shows how to forecast the need for skills in developing countries. The forecasting of these skills has recently fallen into disrepute with the notion that all forecasting techniques that assessed the labor market requirements of the future were dubious and that the future lay with labor market analysis and labor market signaling. This book disputes this but acknowledges that the models of the past should be supplemented with better data and improved labor market analysis and in doing so produces its own model for analyzing the needs of labor markets.
