| Summary: | After a decade of crisis and stellar
economic growth over the past five years, Côte d’Ivoire has
now set its sight on becoming an emerging economy. Improving
prospects for productive employment will be essential for
socially sustainable growth and poverty reduction. The
"Cote d'Ivoire Jobs Diagnostic: Employment,
Productivity, and Inclusion for Poverty Reduction"
report provides a comprehensive and multi-sectoral empirical
analysis of employment challenges and opportunities to
inform strategies and policy actions in Côte d’Ivoire. The
report aims to expand policy discussions on employment from
a focus on the number of jobs and unemployment to a broader
attention on the quality, productivity and inclusiveness of
jobs. It makes the case for a jobs strategy with a sharper
poverty lens that would focus on raising labor productivity
in agriculture and informal off-farm employment to foster
structural transformation, while, in parallel, pursuing
longer-term goals of expanding the thin formal sector. |
