That is to say that monetary investment is not considered to be of greater importance than labour given by the poor workers. ow a day the aim of the labour laws is to establish a harmonious relationship between the capital and the labour. These are the overall enabling intentions of the course stated in behavioral terms to be attained by both the student and the teacher.
