| Summary: | This note aims to shed light on how
Ethiopia’s efforts towards export-led industrialization can
create more, better, and more inclusive jobs. It first
reviews the evidence on how global value chain participation
and industrialization have led to improved employment
outcomes across the globe, before turning to the evidence on
Ethiopia’s industrialization experience so far. Significant
progress in building this evidence base has been made in
recent years, including more recently through different
analytical outputs produced under the World Bank Group’s
analytical program on industrial labor, highlighted in this
note. However, significant knowledge gaps remain. The note
concludes by outlining ideas for a future research agenda on
industrial labor in Ethiopia, focusing on key areas for
policy-oriented research. |
