one of the key objectives of this paper is to promote more in-depth
discussion of the relationship between industrialization, growth and job creation. Job creation, especially for vulnerable groups such as women and young people, who are disproportionately impacted by limited decent employment opportunities, is vital for sustainable development and inclusive growth in Africa. Section II discusses the growthemployment-poverty nexus and the need for policy interventions that accelerate the shift of resources to more productive sectors of the economy as a means of job creation. Section III examines labour market policies that can boost overall employment, with a focus on vulnerable groups such as women and young people. Lastly, section IV sets out pertinent issues and questions for discussion as well as the expected outcomes of such discussions.
