Introduction -- Part I Rural Economy and its Transformation -- Chapter 1 Rural Transformation and Indigenous Peoples in India -- Chapter 2 Ghana's Gold Boom and Multinational Corporations: Resource Nationalism or Countervailing Force? -- Chapter 3 Augmenting Small Farmers' Income through Rural Non-farm Sector in India: Role of Information and Institutions -- Chapter 4 Social Welfare, Unemployment and Public Works in Rural Southern Mozambique -- Chapter 5 Understanding social reality(ies) of rural livelihoods: Insights from a comprehensive study in two villages in Mozambique -- Part II Urbanization and Sustainable Livelihood -- Chapter 6 A New Approach to Rural Labour Mobility in the Labour Surplus Economy: A Tripartite Labour Supply Model -- Chapter 7 Urbanization, Land Alienation and Proletarianization: a Study of Rajbansis in North Bengal -- Chapter 8 Street Food, Food Safety and Sustainability in Emerging Mega City: Insights from an Empirical Study in Hyderabad, India -- Part III Innovations and Instruments in Transformation -- Chapter 9 The Promises of New Instruments for the Promotion of Decent Work -- Chapter 10 Microcredits, Returns and Gender: of Reliable Poor Women and Financial Inclusion in South Asia -- Chapter 11 Organizing the Informal Economy in Senegal.

The book explores the debates surrounding sustainable livelihood in the neoliberal era effected through transformation of the nature of work and the role of institutions, particularly in the Global South. By creating gainful work and employment opportunities through formal and informal institutions using progressive instruments and innovations within rural and urban economies, livelihood becomes 'sustainable', thereby reducing inequality and increasing resilience among households. Based on both theoretical and empirical studies from Asia and Africa, the book establishes the relationship between three broad concepts - work, institutions and sustainable development. The content has been divided into three broad sections: Rural Economy and Its Transformations; Urbanisation and Sustainable Livelihood; and Innovations and Instruments of Transformation. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of development studies, rural and urban studies, labour studies besides economics, sociology, political science and policymaking.
