INSTITUTIONAL ALLIANCES AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA

Subscribe to access this work and thousands more

Economic development has been advocated as vital to Africa's integration in the world economy. Using a Labour and Employment Relations perspective as well as institutional and cooperative theories, I propose a conceptual model that links institutional alliance for skill development (ASD) proximally to labour market systems, and distally to economic development of African countries. The nature, outcomes of ASD, and contributions to economic development are discussed. Finally, I offer propositions on the relationship between ASD and economic development in the interest of encouraging empirical investigation of skill development in African countries.
