Book excerpt: This book analyzes the struggle of working people for improvement in minimum wage in Nigeria. It also looks into how working people are being shortchanged by the capitalist government and employers under the guise of implementing minimum wage. It links the issue of minimum wage in Nigeria with the political economy of Nigeria as a third world country. It was written as a contribution to the intellectual and ideological debates in working class and anti-capitalist movement. It not only raises issues concerning the political economy of Nigeria's capitalism but also the strategies needed by the working class movement and activists in challenging this obviously unacceptable capitalist state. Centrally, this book argues for a revolutionary, democratically organized working people's party to champion this cause. It is the contention of the writer that working people cannot continue to vote their enemies to power every four years, only to fight the anti-workers' policies of those governments. Why don't they have their party? Indeed, strike actions in themselves raise the question of political power as the whole country is at a standstill. Globally, movements are growing against capitalism, one hopes this book contribute to the growing consciousness of working class people and youths for a better society, away from the current iniquitous capitalist system, especially its backward form we have in Nigeria, nay third world countries, and the world at large.This book is a vital material for workers, labour activists, trade unionists, civil society practitioners, scholars and academics, students of history, politics and social science, and all those interested in the political economy of Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual draws on the ILO's comprehensive database containing the principal legal provisions and minimum wage fixing mechanisms in 100 countries. The minimum wage has had a long and turbulent history, and this study sheds light on its intricacies by providing a thorough overview of the institutions and practices in different countries. It outlines the main topics for debate concerning the effects of minimum wages on major social and economic variables such as employment, wage inequality, and poverty. The book considers the various procedures countries use for implementation, including the criteria employed to fix the minimum wage, and how they are linked to specific country objectives. It then measures the efficiency of the minimum wage, and focuses on its impact on employment as a major political issue. For the benefit of non-specialists, the validity of econometric models and their results are examined.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Colonialism and Nation Building in Nigeria written by Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ways in which colonialism continues to define the political economy of Nigeria sixty years after gaining political independence from the British. It also establishes a link between colonialism and the continued agitation for restructuring the political arrangement of the country. The contributions offer various perspectives on how the forceful amalgamation of disparate units and diverse nationalities have undermined the realization of the development potential of Nigeria. The book is divided into two parts. The first part interrogates the political economy of colonialism and the implications of this on economic development in contemporary Nigeria. The second part examines nation-building, governance, and development in a postcolonial state. The failure of the postcolonial political elites to ensure inclusive governance has continued to foster centrifugal and centripetal forces that question the legitimacy of the state. The forces have deepened calls for secession, accentuated conflicts and predispose the country to possible disintegration. A new government approach is required that would ensure equal representation, access to power and equitable distribution of resources.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Natural Resource Funds written by Eyene Okpanachi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to foster a better understanding of the particular challenges faced by resource-dependent countries or jurisdictions in managing their resource revenues through natural resource funds (NRFs). It explores the varieties of natural resource management strategies as dictated primarily by domestic politics, and how the potential negative distributional consequences of resource wealth management (the resource curse) may add political dimensions and potential conflicts to decisions about NRFs in ways that other sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) do not experience. By bridging the existing academic and practical knowledge gap arising from the limited attention given to the domestic politics of NRFs and state-society relations, this edited book is a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, and civil society actors in resource-driven economies and especially those interested in learning from comparative experiences of natural resource wealth management through NRFs.

Download or read book Nigeria and Indonesia written by David Bevan and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes economic developments of Indonesia and Nigeria during the period 1950-85. It addresses why Indonesia was so much more successful than Nigeria during this period. The book consists of three parts. Part I focuses on Nigeria and part II on Indonesia. The first chapters in each part provide a narrative of the political economy, focusing on the various phases since 1950. This is followed by a chapter summarizing the effects on economic growth and poverty. The large divergences in outcome must be attributed to differences in economic policies. It first considers policies in the factor and product markets that mediated between factor endowments and the growth and distributional outcomes. Then it turns to the broader array of economic policies. Finally, it attempts to relate policies to the underlying political processes and interest groups that generated them. Each part concludes by explaining the salient economic outcomes as a result of both policy and the underlying politics. Part III features a concluding comparison by using economic histories to compare the two countries. First it examines the outcomes, then the policies. Finally it contrasts the political processes and interest groups that it suggests account for these important policy differences.
