Jobs need to be at the heart of economic
development policies in Zambia. Recognizing the role of jobs
in making Zambia a more equal middle-income country, the
Government of Zambia has prioritized job creation in its
Vision 2030 and National Strategy on Job Creation and
Industrialization by setting a goal to create one million
jobs in key sectors over the next five years. This report
has three main objectives. First, it outlines the main
challenges to Zambia's jobs agenda at the macro,
household, and firm levels. Second, it takes a closer look
at jobs at a sectoral level, with a focus on agribusiness
value chains that illustrates the potential for job creation
in high-potential sectors. Lastly, it presents a set of
policies that may be prioritized by policymakers as part of
implementing a jobs strategy through creating more formal
sector jobs, improving the quality of informal sector jobs,
and connecting vulnerable population groups to jobs. |
