Labour Mobilisation in Morocco
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2008
Extract
The shortage of capital has always been viewed as one of the crucial bottlenecks in the process of economic development, although recently the emphasis seems to have shifted to the shortage of skilled manpower. Whether it is defined to be only physical or also human – i.e. training, education, and health – capital formation still constitutes the cornerstone of the theory of, and plans for, economic development. Almost by definition, underdeveloped countries are short of capital.

Page 146 note 1 Other recent experiences of labour mobilisation include those in China, ‘rural public works’ in former East Pakistan, ‘community development’ in India and several African Commonwealth countries, animation rurale and service civique in French-speaking Africa and the Malagasy Republic, and the successors to the ‘worksites for unemployment’ in North Africa. They have met with varying degrees of success.
