توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
در سال های اخیر، نگرانی ها در مورد پیامدها و ماهیت رشد اقتصادی جای خود را به تاکید جدیدی بر کیفیت آن داده است. این جلد مشارکتکنندگان برجسته بینالمللی را گرد هم میآورد تا طیفی از سؤالات مرتبط با هم در مورد کیفیت رشد در آفریقا را با تمرکز اصلی بر کشورهای جنوب صحرا بررسی کنند.
مشارکت کنندگان در مورد اندازه گیری رشد، دگرگونی های لازم برای حفظ آن، و مسائل مربوط به برابری و رفاه بحث می کنند. آنها موضوعاتی مانند توزیع سود حاصل از رشد را در نظر می گیرند. میزان رشد اقتصادی منجر به بهبود اشتغال، فقر و امنیت شده است. تحولات ساختاری اقتصاد و تنوع بخشیدن به منابع رشد؛ پایداری زیست محیطی؛ و مدیریت شهرنشینی کیفیت رشد در آفریقا با ارائه هر دو تشخیص و تجویز، به تصور آینده ای کمک می کند که فراتر از افزایش تولید ناخالص داخلی است تا اطمینان حاصل شود که رشد به پیشرفت در رفاه تبدیل می شود. اگرچه این کتاب بر کشورهای جنوب صحرای آفریقا تمرکز دارد، بسیاری از تحلیلهای دقیق مشارکتکنندگان پیامدهایی برای کشورهای خارج از منطقه دارد.

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
In recent years, concerns about the outcomes and nature of economic growth have given way to a new emphasis on its quality. This volume brings together prominent international contributors to consider a range of interrelated questions concerning the quality of growth in Africa, with a primary focus on sub-Saharan countries.
Contributors discuss the measurement of growth, the transformations necessary to sustain it, and issues around equity and well-being. They consider topics such as the distribution of income gains from growth; the extent to which economic growth has resulted in improvements in employment, poverty, and security; structural transformations of the economy and diversification of the sources of growth; environmental sustainability; and management of urbanization. Offering both diagnoses and prescriptions, The Quality of Growth in Africa helps envision a future that goes beyond increasing GDP to ensuring that growth translates into advancements in well-being. Although the book focuses on sub-Saharan Africa, much of the contributors’ incisive analysis has implications for countries outside the region.
