Abstract

Major structural changes in the Zimbabwean economy to alleviate poverty and reduce income inequalities are recommended in the bold and forward-looking report of the Riddell commission of inquiry into incomes, prices, and conditions of service.The 330-page report of the nine-member commission published here recently offers a broadly-based package of policy recommendations, including higher minimum wages, increased taxes on companies and better-paid individuals, reform of the industrial relations system, substantially more land and better credit and marketing facilities for peasant farmers, the squeezing of pay differentials, and a gradual phasing out of food subsidies.
