Work and development

Are workers' non-pecuniary interests regarding the workplace adequately tak en into account during the process of economic development? This article se ts our a framework of analysis for judging the response, based on the crite ria of efficiency, justice and wellbeing. The authors elaborate on the cent ral insights of that framework, provide examples and offer policy suggestio ns based on their analysis. Taking account of all three criteria, they make the case for including - at the earliest phases of development - attention to workplace quality and mechanisms for worker "voice" as part of what is required for assuring "meaningful work".
