The second part is devoted to the structural transformation of economies. The role that human resources play in economic development is the focus of the last section of this volume.

Review
Economic Record
"If one abmitiously attempts to make an overall evaluation of these two volumes, one must conclude that the two volumes are excellent and extremely worthwhile for all readers who are interested in development economics. Not only are almost all important problems tackled and very well presented in these two volumes, but also one learns how difficult the various problems of developing countries are and how difficult it is to achieve certain progress in the development of such countries. All chapters have an extremely good reference list so that one easily finds more literature should one desire to study specific problems."
Journal of Economics/Zeitschrift für Nationalökonomie
..."The Handbook is an impressive accomplishment. Academics more than practitioners will be the beneficiaries, and a cohort of graduate students will find the comprehensive surveys and extensive bibliographies a basic reference."
Journal of Economic Literature
..."Overall, the volume provides an admirable overview of the field of development economics for the topics that it covers. ...We certainly owe a debt of gratitude to Chenery† and Srinivasan for toiling with the huge task of putting this volume together. No one else could have done a better job."
Kyklos
..."The strength of the Handbook is that it presents a reasonable sample of articles on the main topics of development economics, narrowly defined."
Natural Resources Forum
"This addition to the prestigious North-Holland series of Handbooks in Economics is fully up to the high standards set by earlier titles. ..."
"... These books should be obligatory items on the acquisitions list of any libraries which take their coverage of development economics seriously."
