商品描述

This book provides a comprehensive overview of post-war labour market reconstructions, in the context of a regional bloc whose member states have experienced conflict. Focusing on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, the book explores how major conflicts often expose shortcomings in affected countries particularly on their post-war labour market reconstruction processes. The authors discuss how countries in the SADC region in particular are equipped to navigate such processes. This key question drives the overview of relationships between labour market issues and wars of liberation from colonial rule and apartheid, rights to self-determination and racial (in)equality and the need to succinctly explain how labour market issues shaped civil wars in some post-independent SADC member states. The book examines the role of the state in reconstruction processes of post-war labour markets and the contribution of labour market institutions to these reconstructions. It further analyses private sector participation in remaking labour markets and workers' experiences in finding employment in labour markets under reconstruction. The book provides specific insights from experiences in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了戰後勞動市場重建的全面概述,背景為一個經歷過衝突的區域集團。專注於南部非洲發展共同體(SADC)地區,本書探討了重大衝突如何揭露受影響國家在戰後勞動市場重建過程中的不足之處。作者討論了SADC地區的國家如何具備應對這些過程的能力。這一關鍵問題驅動了勞動市場問題與解放戰爭、殖民統治和種族隔離的關係概述,以及自決權和種族(不)平等的權利,並需要簡明扼要地解釋勞動市場問題如何塑造某些獨立後SADC成員國的內戰。本書檢視了國家在戰後勞動市場重建過程中的角色,以及勞動市場機構對這些重建的貢獻。它進一步分析了私營部門在重塑勞動市場中的參與,以及工人在重建中的勞動市場中尋找就業的經歷。本書提供了來自剛果民主共和國(DRC)經驗的具體見解。
