Environment, Employment and DevelopmentA. S. Bhalla International Labour Office, 1992 - 177 Seiten This study examines the employment implications of sustainable development, especially for developing countries, and reviews current approaches to minimizing environmental degradation. Spectacular economic growth since 1945, based largely on technological advance, has entailed major environmental costs which, this book claims, cannot be sustained, except at the risk of our own survival. |
