This second volume of the Summaries of Completed Research Projects is a compendium of the objectives, major findings and policy recommendations of the completed research projects of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies between 1979-1985. Through this publication, the Institute hopes to disseminate valuable research findings as part of its continuing effort to promote policy-oriented development research. The research projects covered wide-ranging areas that include employment, human resource development and technology, resource mobilization, trade expansion, poverty, income and wealth distribution and regional, urban and rural development.
This volume therefore is a significant contribution to the limited number of policy-oriented materials aimed at providing comprehensive information to policymakers, planners, researchers, students of development and those who are interested in Philippine socioeconomic development.
