Description:
Argues that monetary policy should be expanded to consider employment creation along with inflation control in those countries where unemployment and underemployment are a cause for concern. Discusses a range of policy options that can be used to pursue this goal, including credit allocation policies, supporting development banks and devising regulations in support of development lending.
