Sectoral productivity growth and employment changes in Africa, 1990–2000 and 2000–2017. The horizontal dashed line represents the average labour productivity growth. Average productivity growth between 1990–2000 is 5.7 percent, and between 2000–2017 is 1.2 percent. 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
