Summary:

"The book makes an analysis of the various social sectors that makes up the Zimbabwean economy. It deals with the historical development trends, current trends, value addition, employment creation, success and challenges, and recommendations, in the process of chronicling the journey the country traveled in the four decades of its existence; that is from 1980-2020. The book provides insights that are critical for shaping social development in the country going forward. The analysis deals with the endeavor to establish the missing link between social policy and the country's development agenda."-- Back cover.
