Description
Using a study of the housing-construction industry in India, Theo van der Loop focuses on small-scale building firms and their relations of subcontracting, and then on labour relations and the occupational mobility of both full-time and part-time workers. The book shows that the labour system has a significant impact on the production system while the structure of the labour market affects industrial development. Finally, the author presents theoretical and policy implications of his findings regarding employment and small-scale enterprises.
