African labor law put to the test of social realities

This book explores the tension between African labor law and social realities through the intersecting experiences of Madagascar and the Union of the Comoros. Based on interviews with teachers, shopkeepers and workers, it highlights the persistent gap between legal norms and everyday life. The book shows how, in the face of institutional fragility, African societies are reinventing labor law through solidarity, the given word and shared responsibility. A blend of legal analysis and first-hand accounts, it calls for a rethinking of African labor law, based on dignity, participation and real-life social justice.
