Abstract
This Dissemination Note draws from the
recent Bank report, "Eritrea: Investment Climate
Assessment produced by the Africa Private Sector
Group." It concludes, in short, that Eritrea is facing
a critical labor shortage, partly the result of recent
conflict. Mobilization has drained white collar and skilled
workers, resulting in high female participation rates,
rising wages and declining employment. High unit labor costs
are affecting private sector competitiveness and export
potential. Swift implementation of the demobilization
program coupled with appropriate training is urgently needed.
