Hiv/Aids and the Nigerian labour force : a descriptive analysis
This study attempts a descriptive analysis ofHIV/AIDS implications for the Nigerian labour
force by hypothetically estimating Output Loss due to the prevalence of the pandemie for the
period 1987-2003. To have an estimate of potential output loss, average productivity of the
active labour force was calculated in the form of real gross domestic output as a ratio of the
total labour force. The computed average productivity was then multiplied by the figures of
reported HIV/AIDS cases for the particular year. Using ante-natal clinic attendees for the
period under study as a proxy for trends of Adults' HIV prevalence rates in Nigeria, the study
also estimated the medical cost of the infected labour force by using the average cost of
medication of Tanzania as a proxy, since such information on Nigeria is completely
unavailable or inaccessible. The main findings conceming the epidemic's implications for the
Nigerian labour force are that, assuming the cost oftreating an infected adult is about 33412
naira and the govemment is to cater for about 50% of the infected adults, as at the year 2003,
the amount to be spent would be higher than the budgetary allocation of sectors like Sports,
Tourism, etc. This implies that the pandemic's budgetary implications could be huge and
become unsustainable. The study also compared changes in labour force characteristics and
indicators in Nigeria and found that HIV 1 AIDS redu ces the Nigerian labour force and alters
its structure and composition. Therefore, specifie preventive interventions and campaigns to
stop and even reverse the continued alarming spread of the disease should be set up, in view
of the epidemic's high attrition rate. The govemment must fully involve all stakeholders
because the implications affect all.

Hiv/ Aids and economic growth in Zambia
This study explores the relationship between HIV/AIDS prevalence and economic growth. The main objective of the study is to determine the effects of HIV/AIDS on household labour supply and economic growth in Zambia; and to assess the policy implications. The problem statement highlights the need to investigate the adverse impact of the epidemic in terms of costs at household, sectoral and macro levels and the consequences on political, social and economic structures and recommend appropriate policy implications. The study tests three hypotheses. First, that high HIV/AIDS prevalence reduces the GDP growth rate. Second, that high HIV/AIDS prevalence leads to a fall in savings and investment. Third, High prevalence of HIV/AIDS affects labour supply and may increase household poverty because of illness and deaths. The study concludes that HIV/AIDS has had impact on the Zambian economy due to its effect on labour force. Because of this, there is need to promote policies that would encourage productivity and reduction in the loss of human capital.
