Land Settlement Policies and Population Redistribution in Developing Countries: Achievements, Problems and Prospects

Land Settlement Policies and Population Redistribution in Developing Countries provides a comparative analysis, initiated by the International Labour Office, of land settlement policies and programs in developing countries under various socioeconomic conditions. It reports the findings of nine case studies conducted in countries which have established resettlement schemes. The major focus of the studies is the identification of the factors that have contributed to the success or failure of resettlement schemes from the point of view of the populations concerned--in relation to the original objectives of the policymakers--and with respect to development objectives other than population distribution.Oberai, Amarjit S. is the author of 'Land Settlement Policies and Population Redistribution in Developing Countries: Achievements, Problems and Prospects', published 1988 under ISBN 9780275927998 and ISBN 0275927997.
