| description |
This book describes and analyzes
critical aspects of the labor market and social protection
in the Arab world. The authors address the interrelationship
between labor, human development, and social well-being in
the Middle East and North Africa region -- an interaction
that is viewed against the backdrop of a globalization
process that is a crucial shaping factor in national and
international relations alike. The authors scrutinize the
implications for workers of the new forms of insecurity
being ushered in by the globalization era. At the forefront
is the issue of social protection, which creates several
dilemmas for policymakers, since formal social security
covers only a small percentage of the labor force. The idea
of social reinsurance, which would integrate the informal
sector and allow for social dialog, emerges at various
levels, and there is general agreement that any such dialog,
or new social contract, must include government, the private
sector, and civil society. |
