Part one analyzes the economic performance of Senegal with a view to understanding how an efficient labor market is an essential (but not sufficient) condition for achieving sustained and shared growth. This section focuses on the role of the labor market in (i) promoting a virtuous circle between economic growth and poverty reduction through equitable distribution of earned income (which is the main source of income for the Senegalese population, accounting for up to 3/4 of total resources, according to the results of the first household survey ESAM-I); and (ii) creating a competitive and dynamic private sector, as the wage bill accounts for a predominant share of the costs of Senegalese companies. The second part of the study focuses on the perspective of companies motivated by the objective of maximizing labor productivity to become as competitive as possible. The third part of the study presents the perspective of workers or that of the search for job security. The objective is to examine in detail whether the labor market is capable, not only of offering jobs to the majority of the population, but also whether this job provides sufficient income and conditions that allow workers to live free of poverty. The fourth and final part will summarize lessons learned from the previous parts.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CAPITALACCESS TO FINANCINGACCOUNTINGACTIVE EMPLOYMENTACTIVE LABORAGE GROUPALTERNATIVE FINANCINGAPPLIED SCIENCESBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBASIC PENSIONBENEFICIARIESBORROWINGCALCULATIONSCAPITAL EXPENDITURECHILD LABORCOLLATERALCOMPUTER SCIENCECONSUMERCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONTRIBUTIONCONTRIBUTIONSCURRENT ACCOUNTCURRENT JOBCURRENT PRICESDEGREESDIRECT INVESTMENTDISABILITYDISABLEDEARNINGECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION LEVELSEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMEMPLOYABILITYEMPLOYEREMPLOYERSEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT POLICYEMPLOYMENT PROMOTIONEMPLOYMENT SERVICESEMPLOYMENT SITUATIONEMPLOYMENT STATUSENROLLMENTENROLLMENTSENTREPRENEURENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRITEXCHANGE RATEEXCLUSIONEXPENDITURESEXPLOITATIONEXTERNAL EFFICIENCYFACILITATIONFAMILIESFAMILY ALLOWANCESFEMALE EDUCATIONFEMALE EMPLOYMENTFEMALE ENTREPRENEURSFEMALE PARTICIPATIONFINANCESFINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFORMAL EDUCATIONFUTURE STUDENTSGENDERGENDER ISSUEGENERAL POPULATIONGRADUATION RATEGREATER ACCESSGUARANTEE AGENCYHEAD OF HOUSEHOLDHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMEINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINDUSTRIAL RELATIONSINFLATIONINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTINFORMAL SECTORINFORMATION SYSTEMINHERITANCESINVESTINGINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT CLIMATE ASSESSMENTJOB CREATIONKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYLABOR COSTLABOR COSTSLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET DEMANDLABOR MARKET EFFICIENCYLABOR MARKET INFORMATIONLABOR MARKETSLABOR OFFICELABOR PRODUCTIVITYLABOR RELATIONSLABOR STATISTICSLABOR UNIONSLARGE ENTERPRISELATE PAYMENTLEARNINGLIBERAL ARTSLOANLONG-TERM EMPLOYMENTMANPOWERMATERNITY LEAVEMERCHANTSMICRO ENTERPRISESNATIONAL ECONOMYNEW BUSINESSESOCCUPATIONOCCUPATIONSOPERATING COSTSPENSIONPENSION PLANPENSION SCHEMEPENSION SYSTEMPENSIONSPERMANENT JOBPERMANENT JOBSPHYSICAL CAPITALPRESENT VALUEPRICE INDICESPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOLPRINCIPAL SOURCEPRIVATE ENTERPRISESPRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATIONPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTORPROBABILITIESPROBABILITYPRODUCTION UNITSPROFESSIONAL TRAININGPROPRIETORSHIPPROSPERITYPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC EMPLOYMENT SERVICEPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATIONPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC UNIVERSITIESPURCHASING POWERQUESTIONNAIRERAPID GROWTHREAL ESTATERESPONSIBILITIESRETIREDRETIREMENTRETIREMENT SAVINGRURAL EMPLOYMENTRURAL WOMENSALARIESSAVINGSSCHOLARSHIPSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOLSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATESSECONDARY SCHOOLINGSELF-EMPLOYMENTSKILL LEVELSSMALL ENTERPRISESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL SECURITYSTART-UPSTART-UPSSTOCKSSTUDENT BODYSTUDENT LOANSTUDENT LOANSSTUDENT REGISTRATION FEESSUBSIDIZATIONSUITABLE EMPLOYMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL FIELDSTELECOMMUNICATIONSTEMPORARY JOBSTERTIARY LEVELTRADE UNIONSTRAINING ACTIVITIESTRAINING CURRICULATRAINING SUPPLYTUITIONTUITION FEESTUITIONSUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYED PERSONSUNEMPLOYED POPULATIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNIONUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY DEGREEUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITY ENROLLMENTSUNIVERSITY RESEARCHUNIVERSITY TRAININGURBAN AREAURBAN AREASVOCATIONAL TRAININGWAGEWAGE EARNERWAGE LEVELWAGE RATEWAGESWOMANWORKERWORKERSWORKING CONDITIONSYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTH EMPLOYMENTWorld Bank10.1596/7580
