Manufacturing output, employment and real wages in the 1980s: Labour's loss until the century's end

Abstract

During the 1980s most developing countries experienced sharp declines in manufacturing output and real wages, whilst their manufacturing sectors were supposedly ‘restructured’ or made more competitive by having to confront market forces. This article examines the extent to which macroeconomic adjustment and industrial restructuring policies succeeded in achieving their objectives.
