The Strains of Economic Growth: Labor Unrest and Social Dissatisfaction in Korea
No Customer Reviews
By the mid-1980s, Korea's economic and political situation was becoming volatile. Labour relations were especially contentious. This book is a collaborative research project between the Harvard Institute for International Development and the Korea Development Institute and provides an analytic history of the economic causes of the labour unrest and popular discontent of the late 1980s. Set against rapid increases in wages and employment, worker dissatisfaction is traced to patterns of income inequality and to non-pecuniary dimensions of working life, including the suppression of labour organizations.
