I show that this area of infrastructure provision was characterised both by very large numbers of employees and by a huge diversity of the tasks undertaken, offering further evidence of the existence of \u2018labour-intensive\u2019 growth outside the manufacturing sector. The growth of the labour force in post and telecommunications was facilitated by specific labour-absorbing institutions, that is, formal or informal institutions designed to mobilise or incentivise large numbers of employees. The government-run communications system in effect depended for its growth and development on labour strategies and labour-absorbing institutions analogous to those often associated with manufacturing development. The evidence also suggests that the institutions that evolved were closely associated with a gradual improvement in the quality of labour and its ability to interact with rapidly changing needs and technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u8b1b\u6f14\u8005 \u6c0f\u540d\uff1a\u30b8\u30e3\u30cd\u30c3\u30c8\u30fb\u30cf\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc \u6240\u5c5e\uff1aLSE \u8cc7\u683c\uff1aProfessor Emerita of Economic History \u7d4c\u6b74\uff1a\u3053\u3061\u3089\u304b\u3089\u3054\u78ba\u8a8d\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044 \u958b\u50ac\u6982\u8981 \u958b\u50ac\u65e5\u6642\uff1a\u30002026\u5e745\u670812\u65e5\uff08\u706b\uff0915\u66420 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10208,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[103,1],"tags":[99,102,18,101],"class_list":["post-11680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-news","tag-events-en","tag-general-en","tag-events","tag-general"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11680"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11683,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11680\/revisions\/11683"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fpse\/winpec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
