Structural Adjustment

Sarah Babb · The Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Globalization · 2012

Abstract Structural adjustment refers to a set of related economic policy reforms implemented by developing countries, beginning in the 1980s, with the support of international financial institutions (IFIs), particularly the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF). The term is usually used to refer simultaneously to two distinct types of reforms: short‐term fiscal and monetary policies designed to control inflation and stabilize domestic currencies; and long‐term structural reforms designed to open national economies to market forces, such as removing trade barriers and privatizing state‐owned industries.

Structural Adjustment

Carly Goodman · 2023

Abstract At independence Ghana had invested in major infrastructure projects, such as the Akosombo dam, which would generate electricity for the country. School enrollments climbed, and access to health care increased. But soon authoritarian politics and practices of “kalabule” or profiteering undermined people’s sense that the nation was serving the public good. Once in power in the 1980s, Jerry John Rawlings worked with the International Monetary Fund to coordinate a structural adjustment program for Ghana. This neoliberal reform attracted loans and aid but reshaped its economic structures, diminished fuel and food subsidies, devalued the currency, and more. Rolling blackouts, or dumsor, hurt productivity and quality of life, and seemed to speak to the collapse of the promises of independence. By the 1990s, the people of Ghana were suffering the effects of these shifts, which would shape attitudes about emigration.

Structural adjustment

Alex Byrne · Australian Academic & Research Libraries · 1989

As academic libraries become ever more interconnected, it is important to consider the implications of network structures for their management. Structures of networks reflect and determine the power and authority relationships within them. The extent of each participant's loss of control and diminution of autonomy depends on structure. The suitability of the structure to the participants and the purpose of the network also determine the continued viability of the network as a whole.

Structural Adjustment

Günseli Berik · The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Gender and Sexuality Studies · 2016

Structural adjustment refers to the process of restructuring national economies using a standard package of policies that emphasizes the market as the main mechanism for the allocation of economic resources. Structural adjustment programs (SAPs) have been a key contributor to economic globalization from the 1980s onwards as they have been widely implemented in rich, transition, and poor countries alike. Feminist researchers showed that SAPs tend to have disproportionate adverse impacts on women, particularly among low‐income groups, as they increase women's unpaid workload and constrain the options for securing livelihoods. Feminist critiques of SAPs have contributed to the development of alternative macroeconomic policies for broadly shared development.

Trade and Structural Adjustment

OECD · OECD eBooks · 2005

International competition, accelerating technological change and shifting societal concerns are important drivers of structural change, both within and across firms, industries and regions. As well as bringing undoubted opportunities, structural adjustment raises acute challenges. This must be acknowledged in making the case for open markets. This brochure aims to identify, for both developed and developing countries, the requirements for successful trade-related structural adjustment via the reallocation of labour and capital to more efficient uses, while limiting adjustment costs for individuals, communities and society as a whole. It draws on a longer study incorporating detailed sectoral case studies...
