Become an Entrepreneur
In India, and even world wide, companies are expanding, but trying to do this with less people. Government, which used to be the biggest employer-is downsizing. There is greater use of technology to reduce the number of employees. Where will the millions of young men and women, who join the work force every year, go? If they do not find gainful employment, there will be social tensions and unhappiness all round. ENTREPRENEUR is a book to motivate young people-with or without skills; with or without capital. It is for those who have a spark of entrepreneurship, which can be fanned into a flame. A flame that can spread into a raging fire throughout the nation. ENTREPRENEUR is not a how to book...

The New Poverty Strategies
The contributors to this collection examine the progress and impact of the 'new poverty strategies' which have governed the policies of development agencies over the past decade. While in some areas progress has been impressive, in others it has been hampered by persisting inequalities, civil conflict, institutional gaps and turbulence in the international financial system. In light of this, The New Poverty Strategies proposes a range of new policies and donor initiatives designed to achieve greater success in poverty reduction in the new century.
Employment and Re-Industrialisation in Post Soeharto Indonesia
This book studies the challenges for Indonesia, once a miracle economy, as it faces premature deindustrialisation, rising inequality and domestic and external factors impacting its export-oriented industrialization. Since the fall of Soeharto, Indonesia has undergone a far-reaching systemic transition from centralised and autocratic governance to a highly decentralised and democratic system. Complicated by regional variations, the country is now being called upon to respect labour rights and, amidst slow global economic recovery, is facing increased competition from other low-labour-cost countries, especially within the ASEAN Economic Community. Tadjoeddin and Chowdhury posit that Indonesia cannot recreate its past miracle based on cheap labour and suppression of labour rights. It will need to move quickly to high value-added activities driven by productivity growth and to develop its domestic market.
