Le dveloppement economique en Afrique rapport 2018

The publication EDAR 2018 "Migration and Structural Transformation in Africa" highlights the fact that intra-Africa migration is relevant to the regional and continental integration agenda and shows that there are still gaps in knowledge, including the relationship between migration, economic and trade policies. The report seeks to fill these gaps by using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, aggregate datasets, household surveys and sector-level data to obtain "stylized facts" about patterns of intra-African migration and poverty. the bias through which they influence the results of socio-economic development in Africa. The report opted, in an innovative way, for a human-centered narrative to identify opportunities for the absorption of surplus labor in different sectors of the continent. The conclusion offers new insights for African governments as well as for stakeholders outside the continent.
