Originally published in 1978 Urbanization and Labour Markets

The book provides a simple guide to the subject of labour in cities in underdeveloped countries. It also set out the major controversies relating to urban labour markets in developing countries and focuses in detail on work which goes on outside large-scale firms. Migration and population growth are considered in some detail, and proposals for different ways of seeing the ‘informal’ sector are discussed. This book will be of use to undergraduates in the areas of geography, economics, and development studies.
