【 摘 要 】

After a decade of crisis and stellareconomic growth over the past five years, Côte d’Ivoire hasnow set its sight on becoming an emerging economy. Improvingprospects for productive employment will be essential forsocially sustainable growth and poverty reduction. The"Cote d'Ivoire Jobs Diagnostic: Employment,Productivity, and Inclusion for Poverty Reduction"report provides a comprehensive and multi-sectoral empiricalanalysis of employment challenges and opportunities toinform strategies and policy actions in Côte d’Ivoire. Thereport aims to expand policy discussions on employment froma focus on the number of jobs and unemployment to a broaderattention on the quality, productivity and inclusiveness ofjobs. It makes the case for a jobs strategy with a sharperpoverty lens that would focus on raising labor productivityin agriculture and informal off-farm employment to fosterstructural transformation, while, in parallel, pursuinglonger-term goals of expanding the thin formal sector.
