Key Findings on Urban Employment Unemployment Survey 2020 (2012 E.C)

 

Ethiopia being one of the African countries with relatively fast-growing population coupled with developing economy, proper management and efficient utilization of its work force is essential. In this respect, the capacity of the economy in absorbing the potential labour force needs to be monitored regularly and appropriate employment policy should consequently be adopted. The
level of employment and unemployment of the country is widely used as overall indicators in evaluating the current performance of the economy. Labour force survey is one of the most important sources of data that provides information regarding the potential labour force of the country. The analysis of employment status is therefore, essential both in reflecting the current employment
situations and foreseeing future changes. It serves as an input for the evaluation of the post 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, it is important to monitor and evaluate the effect of the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II) of the country.
