Technology choice and employment in developing countries; a synthesis of economic growth center research

In Section I, it briefly reviews the present state-of-the-arts which can now be more or less taken for granted, largely as a reflection of the progress made since the early 1960s. Not only an understanding of the intersection between technology and employment but also the definition of societal objectives has changed, moving beyond growth and employment to the consideration of the distributional and poverty alleviation objectives of developing societies. Section II is devoted to a summary of the findings of the research financed under this contract and Section III to a summary of the conclusions which flow from these findings.
