LABR 120 - (BH, CC) African Labor EconomicsSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
Work, working people, and working class movements in modern Africa
are the focus of this introductory course. Through contemporary and
historical cross-country studies of workers in a wide variety of
economic, political and institutional settings, we will evaluate rival
perspectives on a host of interesting and controversial topics. These
include: changing occupational and industrial formations, gender and
racial gaps in jobs and income, poverty and inequality, immigration,
urban informal employment, worker training and health care, labor
unions, and government’s regulatory and job creation roles.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
One introductory economics course, or LABR 1A, or
instructor’s permission. Credit given for this course or ECO 120 or
AFST 120, not both.
