Abstract

In this study for the International Labour Organization, requested by the Liberian government, James Heintz undertakes a rapid assessment of the impact of the global economic crisis on Liberia, where years of civil war, conflict and instability have left the country’s 3.5 million people extremely vulnerable and the nation’s economy devastated. Heintz documents the effects of the crisis on employers and workers and considers the implications for the realization of the objectives of the Liberia Poverty Reduction Strategy. He finds the there have already been significant negative effects on Liberia’s ability to meet its goals, and recommends a set of concrete policy responses.
