Abstract: | Industrialisation as being broadly the application of capital and scientific techniques to economic activity does not in itself at all times provide additional employment opportunities. At certain stages of industrial development in the quest for greater efficiency through capital investment, better management, more labour conscious ness and consequently greater production the effect may be to lower the numbers employed or at best only to maintain them. To illustrate this the author compares certain statistics of the years 1957 and 1965. Discussion of this paper p. 28-30. |
