| description | The prosperity of Abidjan attracts jobseekers from all over West Africa as well as from the rural areas of the Ivory Coast itself. Most of the foreign Africans move in to take the unskilled jobs that Ivory Coast nationals do not want. At the same time there exist two sets of imbalances: between the qualifications and aspirations of the indigenous labour force, and between these and the occupational structure of the demand for manpower in the formal sector of the urban economy. The authors examine the employment problems this creates, as well as the possibilities for manpower absorption in the informal sector and infrastructure expansion, before dealing briefly with the social problems of population pressure. They conclude with some policy prescriptions for employment creation but pose the central question: for which groups is employment to be created? |
