    Abstract: . Les 25 prochaines années verront une augmentation de la population active des pays en développement, particulièrement en Afrique, qui connaîtront une croissance rapide de la main-d'oeuvre. . Pour certains pays, le développement à forte intensité de main-d'oeuvre a été une réussite spectaculaire et on commence à les imiter. Cependant, de nombreux pays doivent redéfinir leurs politiques et programmes, face à l'urgence de la création d'emploi. . Les pauvres et les chômeurs ont tout à gagner d'un développement à forte intensité de main d'oeuvre, mais ils peuvent s'y opposer par crainte des conséquences, à court terme, des réformes. . Des programmes de travaux publics soigneusement ciblés, la mise en place, dès la première phase de la réforme, de mesures relatives à la sécurité alimentaire, ainsi que de meilleures incitations pour les agriculteurs, seront indispensables pour que la réforme soit assurée d'un soutien populaire.

    Abstract: • Environmental policy should be inspired by the recognition that the environment is everyone’s business; all social actors must be involved in environmental management • Policies that implicitly subsidize a wasteful and environmentally destructive use of resources are pervasive: reforms should command a high priority on economic as well as environmental grounds • Compared to regulation, market-based instruments are little used but they can be more efficient; they can also produce revenues to finance environmental improvements • Regulatory effectiveness can be improved by: relying more on preventive measures, including environmental impact assessment; targeting large polluters; strengthening enforcement; and favouring mediation over litigation

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Création d'emploi et stratégie de développement
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: . Developing countries will account for almost all the increase in the world's labour force over the next 25 years; most countries, especially in Africa, will experience very rapid labour force growth. . Labour-intensive development has been spectacularly successful in some countries and others have begun to emulate them. Nevertheless, many countries still need to rethink policies and programmes in the light of the increasing urgency of employment creation. .The poor and the unemployed have much to gain from labour-intensive development, but fears about the short-term impact of reforms may cause them to oppose change. . Carefully targeted programmes of public works and food security measures implemented early in the reform process, plus improved incentives for farmers, may be essential for the popular support of reform.

    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: . A growing recognition of the need to delimit the role of the government, to promote the market framework, and to rely on the private sector as the engine of growth, offers the prospect of a new beginning in rural development in Africa. . Rural people must take a more dominant role, both in shaping their economic prospects and in assuming the responsibility for a high quality of stewardship of natural resources. . To help to bring about such an empowerment of the people, governments and the donors will need to undertake some drastic reforms in the old systems and habits of governance.

    Series Statement: OECD Development Centre Working Papers no.93
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: Many OECD Member countries and a large number of the developing countries are suffering from extensive unemployment, both in short and long-term forms. Based on a five-part schema of labour market problems, this paper summarises and evaluates the effectiveness of labour market policies and programmes in the OECD countries and assesses the relevance of the experience to economies in transition, dynamic non-Member economies and developing countries in general. The overall conclusion is that such policies have not proven very effective in dealing with the most pressing problems in most types of economy (the dynamic non- Member economies being the main exception), that is, high and persistent unemployment, both short term and long term. Nevertheless, there are a variety of active labour market policies which are of help with some other types of problem. In general, the developing countries would be well advised not to invest too heavily in socalled passive measures; thus, a social ...

    Abstract: In the 1960s and 1970s a number of views were formed about unemployment in developing countries, which have remained largely accepted since then. The views can be summarized as three propositions: a) the poor cannot afford to become unemployed; b) labour markets in developing countries are always sufficiently open and flexible for work to be found, so that c) unemployment is a reflection of the search for jobs with high earnings on the part of those able to finance search costs. In contrast, the conclusions of this review are that the poor can be and are increasingly to be found in large numbers among the unemployed; many young people have great difficulty in finding any sort of work, especially regular work; unemployment is high and appears to have been rising over the past 20 years. In sum, in the light of this review of evidence, the conventional wisdom described in the so-called luxury unemployment hypothesis is seriously flawed and should be set aside.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Managing the Environment in Developing Countries
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: • La politique de l'environnement devrait être fondée sur le principe selon lequel l'environnement est l'affaire de chacun ; tous les acteurs sociaux doivent prendre part à la gestion de l'environnement • Les politiques qui encouragent mplicitement, par des subventions, une exploitation des ressources naturelles abusive et préjudiciable à l'environnement sont fréquentes : les réformes devraient donner aussi bien la priorité aux questions économiques qu'à celles concernant l'environnement • Les instruments de marché sont moins employés que la réglementation mais ils peuvent être plus efficaces ; ils peuvent également constituer une source de revenus pour le financement de la protection de l'environnement • Il est possible d'améliorer l'efficacité des réglementations en mettant l'accent sur les mesures préventives, notamment les études d'impact sur l'environnement, en identifiant les gros pollueurs, en renforçant la mise en oeuvre des mesures adoptées et en encourageant la médiation aux dépens du recours à la poursuite judiciaire

    Abstract: • La nécessité de limiter le rôle de l'État, de promouvoir l'économie de marché et de s'appuyer sur le secteur privé pour entraîner la croissance, offre de nouvelles perspectives de développement à l'Afrique rurale. • La polpulation des campagnes doit jouer un rôle plus déterminant, à la fois en construisant elle-même son avenir économique et en prenant la responsabilté de gérer au mieux les ressources naturelles. • Pour favoriser une telle prise en charge des habitants par eux-mêmes, États et donateurs internationaux doivent réviser de fond en comble les règles établies et les pratiques de gouvernement.
