In particular, it assesses the relative contributions of within-sector and between-sector productivity to output per capita growth. Based on data disaggregated into eight sectors for the period 1996-2011, the analysis suggests that the structure of output has changed considerably -- predominantly from agriculture to services -- but changes in the composition of employment have lagged behind.

Nonetheless, the pace of structural change is accelerating and its relative contribution to output growth is increasing. 2014-02-03T21:00:22Z 2014-02-03T21:00:22Z 2014-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/01/18832342/structural-change-ethiopia-employment-perspective http://hdl.handle.net/10986/16829 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 6749 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Africa Ethiopia
