Summary: This work is intended as a contribution to the study of urban employment problems in developing countries. It seemed worthwhile to focus attention on a single city while keeping the broader economic context firmly in view. The result is, at the very least, a de tailed study of some aspects of the economy of Bombay. This is contained in Chapters II-V which examine employment, income distribution and migration patterns in the city and the interrelation ships between them. Chapters I and VI are more analytical, concerned with conceptual and policy questions of wider relevance. We hope that the work, taken as a whole, throws some light on the nature of the employment problem in India (and other labour surplus developing countries) and on policies to combat it-issues which have been and will continue to be of importance for some time to come.
