Manpower Policy Issues: Some Emerging Considerations Highlighted in African Countries

Abstract

The growing interest of African governments in their manpower problems, a result of the new and more acute political and social pressures of the 1970s, has led to the hasty introduction of new labour market policy measures, intended to alleviate the problems. The impact of these measures are examined, and the potential for action assessed.
