Abstract
Although much has been written on patterns of labor
In West Africa, there are no studies which are devoted
primarily to the social aspects of labor unions.
The purpose of this thesis is to try to determine
to what extent the trade union movement has been affected,
modified, or influenced by traditional economic, social,
and political systems in Ghana and Nigeria. It will be
necessary to consider first the major factors which have
had a direct bearing upon the traditional and modern
economic systems before the place of the trade union in .
the scheme can be assessed, therefore, the thesis will
include some descriptive data on traditional economic
attitudes in Ghana and Nigeria and a comparison of these
with the economic attitudes required for industrialization.
Then the changes in attitudes and patterns of labor, which
have accrued over time due to the impact of industrialization, will be treated. It will also be necessary to
contrast the organization and function of traditional and
modern economic associations In order to determine what
influence these have had upon each other.
