Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Labour Economics: An Introduction for South African Students presents a clear, rigorous, and enquiring introduction to the field of labour economics. Beginning from a solid theoretical foundation, the text maintains an inherent focus on the application of empirical theory and policy to contemporary labour market issues, analysing many of the key issues which introduce critical dynamics to the modern South African economy.
The text provides a broad and balanced analysis of the segmented South African labour economy, examining the labour market from both macro and micro perspectives, and presenting this analysis within the context of comparative international perspectives.
Labour Economics: An Introduction for South African Students offers a clear pedagogical structure, which supports learning and develops independent, critical and applied engagement with the subject matter. A comprehensive package of ancillary materials complement the text, and are available to students and lecturers to support teaching and learning.
The text is eminently suitable as a foundational text for students of economics, but will be equally useful and accessible to students of related disciplines, such as the social and business sciences, and law.
