Publisher's Synopsis
The accompanying copymasters provide supporting worksheets for less-successful pupils, parallel case studies and extension work - and, in addition, a range of practice assessment items closely tailored to GCSE requirements. "Work, Employment and Development" covers all the main themes of economic geography and development in a wide variety of contexts from an individual company to global economic systems. This book deals with the differences between work and employment, patterns of growth and decline in jobs, various approaches to regional development and whether or not there are alternative ways of organizing economies. All of the afore mentioned are examined within the context of their effects on the quality of people's lives.
