In most African countries the labour force is growing faster than new jobs, leading to increased informalization of the economy. Case studies concentrate on Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi, where less than ten per cent of the labour force work in the formal sector, as compared with some twenty to forty per cent in the 1960s. Public sector workers have been reduced but there have not been enough jobs to compensate in the rest of the formal sector. The education and training institutions also have difficulties in providing skills for the restructured markets.Labor marketAfrica, EasternLabor marketAfrica, SouthernLabor economicsAfrica, EasternLabor economicsAfrica, SouthernBusiness & EconomicsHILCCLabor & Workers' EconomicsHILCCAfrica, EasternEconomic policyAfrica, SouthernEconomic policyAfrica, EasternEconomic conditionsAfrica, SouthernEconomic conditionsLabor marketLabor marketLabor economicsLabor economicsBusiness & EconomicsLabor & Workers' Economics598.014Geest Willem van derHoeven Rolph van derInternational Labour OfficePQKBBOOK996200553803316Adjustment, Employment and Missing Institutions in Africa: The Experience in Eastern and Southern Africa2020978UNISA
