Expert African researchers offer unique perspectives into the challenges and issues in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, and South Africa. Despite a growing body of research on African economies, very little research has focused on the relationship between economic growth and employment outcomes at the detailed country level. A lack of empirical data has, in many cases, deprived policymakers of a robust evidence base on which to make informed decisions. By harnessing country-level household, firm, and national accounts data, together with existing analytical country research, the authors have attempted to bridge this gap. 606 $aJob creation$zAfrica 606 $aEconomic development$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 610 $aEconomics 610 $aEthiopia 610 $aGross domestic product 610 $aInformal economy 610 $aKenya 610 $aLabour economics 610 $aMozambique 610 $aNigeria 610 $aPublic sector 610 $aSouth Africa 615 0$aJob creation 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a338.96 700 $aBhorat$b Haroon$4edt$01426941 702 $aTarp$b Finn$f1951- 702 $aBhorat$b Haroon 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910258750803321 996 $aAfrica's Lions$93559461 997 $aUNINA
