Abstract

Are workers' interests regarding working conditions adequately refelcted in workplace outcomes during the process of development? This paper spells out a framework of analysis -- based on the criteria of efficiency, justice, and well-being-- by which we might arrive ar answers to this question. It discusses empirical evidence that bears on the central analytical insights of the framework, and offers policy prescriptions based on the analytical insights and empirical evidence.
