This study represents a step towards a better understanding of how to promote job creation in Tanzania. Indeed, the growth of productive jobs is vital for alleviating poverty and promoting shared prosperity - two important goals of Tanzania's economic strategy. This booklet highlights the three-pillar plan for job creation derived from the Tanzania country economic memorandum. The first pillar looks at job creation from the angle of small non-farm businesses, which have been growing very fast during the rapid urbanization. The second pillar focuses on farms because those still capture the largest share of employment in Tanzania, while the third pillar discusses the job-creation potential associated with business expansion into new markets. By focusing on a comprehensive set of concrete actions, the goal is to stimulate debate as well as to build ownership and accountability among policy-makers and key stakeholders in the country.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESSIBILITYACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING SERVICESADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURESAGGLOMERATION EFFECTSAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONARABLE LANDBANK OF TANZANIABARGAININGBARGAINING POWERBARRIERS TO ENTRYBOTTLENECKSBUSESCAPITAL GAINSCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONGESTIONCREATING JOBSCREATING OPPORTUNITIESDEFICITSDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC MARKETSDRIVERSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIES OF SCALEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT GROWTHENTREPRENEURSHIPENTRY COSTSEXPLOITATIONEXPORT MARKETSEXPORT PROCESSING ZONESFEMALE ENTREPRENEURSFINANCIAL SERVICESFIRM PERFORMANCEFISHFISHINGFIXED COSTSFOOD PRODUCTIONFORESTRYFREE ZONESFREIGHTHOUSEHOLD ENTERPRISEHOUSEHOLD ENTERPRISESHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINNOVATIONINNOVATIONSINPUT USEINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL MARKETSJOB CREATIONJOBSLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR OFFICELABOR PRODUCTIVITYLABOR REGULATIONSLABOR STANDARDSLABOURLABOUR FORCELAND DEVELOPMENTLAWSLEATHER INDUSTRYLOCAL ADMINISTRATIONLOCAL FIRMSMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMARGINAL TAX RATESMARINE TRANSPORTMARKET FAILURESMATCHING GRANTSMICROFINANCEMOTOR VEHICLESNATIONAL PARKSNATURAL RESOURCESNEW ENTRANTSOCCUPATIONOCCUPATIONSOILON-THE-JOB TRAININGOPERATING COSTSPOLICY MAKERSPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE COMPANIESPRIVATE FIRMSPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCT DIVERSIFICATIONPRODUCTION PROCESSPRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIESPRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENTPRODUCTIVE FIRMSPRODUCTIVITY GAINSPRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENTSPROPERTY RIGHTSQUALITY STANDARDSRAILWAYSRAPID TRANSITREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRISK SHARINGROADSRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL LABORRURAL ROADSRURAL TRAVELSAFETYSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSEARCH COSTSSELF EMPLOYMENTSKILLED LABORSKILLED WORKERSSMALL BUSINESSSMALL BUSINESSESSOCIAL COHESIONSUPPLIERSSURVIVAL RATETAXTAXATIONTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNOLOGY TRANSFERSTOTAL EMPLOYMENTTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTOTAL LABOR FORCETRAINING PROGRAMSTRANSITTRANSIT SERVICESTRANSIT TRADETRANSPARENCYTRANSPORT AUTHORITYTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION CORRIDORSTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSPORTATION SERVICESTRUEUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEURBAN MOBILITYURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORTATIONURBANIZATIONVEHICLEVEHICLESVOCATIONAL TRAININGWAGE EMPLOYMENTWAGESWEALTHWORKERWORKERS10.1596/20263
