N2  - This book results from three seminars on the employment problem held by the Ford Foundation in 1973 in Bogota, New Delhi, and Ibadan. Three types of papers are presented. First, the editor, E.O. Edwards, has contributed a forty-six-page overview of the employment problem in developing countries which attempts to draw together the various themes in the
papers that follow and which then seeks to indicate how donor agencies such as the Ford Foundation might best offer assistance. (A major conclusion, inevitably in ventures of this sort, is that we need more 'research.') Second, the principal consultant for each of the seminars prepared a paper on the seminar theme, and all three papers are given here: H.J. Bruton on 'Economic development and labour use: a review,' F. Stewart on 'Technology and employment in LDCs,' and C. Gotsch on 'Economics, institutions and employment generation in rural areas.' Third, the final 60 percent of the book contains sixteen of the fifty-eight papers presented at the three seminars
