Work behavior of the world's poor
2003
Sharif, Mohammed
"This book turns conventional wisdom on its head. It establishes that the behavior of the world's poor by working more as wages are further reduced is rational. This is because workers faced with the prospect of falling below subsistence expand their supply of labor as wages decline further until they reach the maximum of their physical limit, when they decide to quit the labor market and become paupers. The percentage of the world's population who may be considered to display this labor supply behavior is about 60 per cent - so the importance of this book and its findings are paramount."--BOOK JACKET.
