Summary: Labour in economic development conjures up for many an image of peasants streaming from the countryside to towns, to man new factories and to start a new life. Economies develop in diverse ways, and this book is an attempt to show how in one country, Uganda in East Africa, a very different pattern has emerged, in which there is a perpetual flow between town and country and in which, although the towns are growing, there are few signs of the growth of an urban working class.
