Privatisation and Labour Restructuring

In the rush to privatize, many countries ignored the welfare role of the State. In particular, the negative social aspects of privatization resulted in impoverishment and considerable hardship to labour and led to questions on the wisdom of pursuing privatization policies. In his book "Privatisation and Labour Restructuring", the author has examined the privatization processes in Sri Lanka and India and the implications it has for various sections of society; he has also suggested measures to minimise the negative social implications of labour restructuring.
