Employment Problems and the Urban Labour Market in Developing Nations by Subbiah Kannappan, University of Michigan, 1983, 293p.

Abstract

The field experience of voluntary groups confirms that eradication of poverty in a country like India is simply not possible without the rational management of our environment and that conversely environmental destruction will only intensify poverty. Environmental destruction goes hand in hand with social injustice. .. The rich are small in proportion but they consume a very large proportion of the world's resources and seem to be steadily increasing their share. This group is no longer living on the resources of its ecosystem and depends on an extraordinarily extensive use of the world's natural resources. The rich destroy the environment not- only by their own consumption but also by forcing the poor into a situation where they survive only by overexploiting their environment."
