TextPublisher: Brookings Institution Press, Description: 1 online resource (293 p.)ISBN: 9780815729495Subject(s): Business & Economics / Economics / Macroeconomics | Political Science / Political Economy | EconomicsGenre/Form: Electronic books.Online resources: View this content on Open Research Library. Summary: Africa's Lions examines the economic growth experiences of six fast-growing and/or economically dominant African countries. Expert African researchers offer unique perspectives into the challenges and issues in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, and South Africa. Despite a growing body of research on African economies, very little research has focused on the relationship between economic growth and employment outcomes at the detailed country level. A lack of empirical data has, in many cases, deprived policymakers of a robust evidence base on which to make informed decisions. By harnessing country-level household, firm, and national accounts data, together with existing analytical country research, the authors have attempted to bridge this gap.
