Jobless Economic Growth: Lessons from Africa

Download PDF

Following the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, economic growth has eluded many

countries. Africa, on the other hand, is projected to host seven of the ten fastest growing

economies in the period from 2011-2012. It has long been understood that high economic

growth is a prerequisite for job creation, causing analysts to worry about the projected low

global growth scenario and its implications for economies that have either high or stubborn

levels of unemployment. However, long run comparisons across Africa have shown

differential performance, with some countries having better outcomes in terms of job

creating economic growth.
