Industrial Development, Construction and Employment in Africa (IDCEA): A Comparative Analysis

PROJECT OVERVIEW: In recent years research on the effects of foreign direct investment on African economies and labour markets has gained a new focus with the re-emergence of concerns with broad structural transformation, and the development of industry and infrastructure in particular. The IDCEA project (https://www.soas.ac.uk/idcea/) conducted 4 years of research on employment patterns and outcomes in the infrastructure construction and manufacturing sectors in Angola and Ethiopia, where large-scale surveys of workers and extensive qualitative research were conducted between 2016 and 2018.
