ASC Seminar: Unemployment in Africa

William Baah-Boateng, University of Ghana. In this seminar the speaker seeks to establish that the concept of unemployment defined by the ILO appears to be too narrow within the context of many developing countries including Ghana. This definition tends to put many jobless adults into the discouraged worker category thereby giving a misleading picture about the unemployment situation in these countries. In addition, the structure of the labour market in many African countries is such that informality takes the face of unemployment. Please register.
