AFST 120 - (BH, CC) African Labor Economics
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/ethnic gaps in jobs and income, poverty and inequality, immigration,
urban informal employment, worker training and health care, labor unions, government’s
regulatory and job creation roles. This is a distribution course in both the Behavioral
Social Sciences and the Cross-Cultural categories.
