Relative sectoral productivity and employment changes in Africa, 1990–2000 and 2000–2017. The relative productivity here is equal to the log of (sectoral productivity/total productivity). The estimated regression line, measuring the relationship between productivity and change in employment share by sector, is not statistically significant. The size of the bubbles indicates the employment size at the end-of-period. The detailed descriptions of the sectors are attached in Appendix
