| Summary: | Over the recent past, Burkina Faso has
registered solid economic growth and poverty levels have
been lowered, suggesting that growth has been pro-poor. Yet,
poverty remains widespread despite high levels of labor
market participation and employment. In practice, life for
many in the country remains a struggle, even when compared
to equally challenging conditions elsewhere in the region.
The overview report on the Jobs Diagnostic:
Burkina Faso; provides a multi-sectoral analysis of
the country's jobs challenges by looking at
macro-economic conditions and trends, hindrances to labor
demand, issues affecting jobs outcomes in agriculture and
determinants of jobs outcomes in general. The report draws
on recent household and enterprise surveys and provides
regional comparisons that place the challenges in Burkina
Faso in a wider context. It closes with preliminary policy
recommendations for a future jobs strategy. |
