Report on the ILO/JASPA African employment report 1992

Abstract

This report is presented in collaboration with the ILO's Jobs and Skills Programme for Africa (JASPA). It consists essentially of the Executive Summary of the ILO/JASPA African Employment Report 1992. The report discusses four major themes which have a considerable bearing on the critical employment situation in Africa; an overview of recent economic performance and its impact on employment; a critical assessment of the retrenchment and redeployment programmes in the public sector which have become salient features of structural adjustment programmes in African countries; an evaluation of the impact of the ongoing economic policy reforms on the urban informal sector employment, and manpower and employment planning approaches under economic reforms.
