Fast growth in Rwanda since the turn of
the century has been accompanied by solid poverty reduction.
Between 2000 and 2013, gross domestic product (GDP) grew at
eight percent per year, resulting in a 170 percent increase
in real GDP. As the poor almost uniquely depend on labor to
generate income, the strong reduction in poverty suggests
tangible improvements in employment outcomes over this
period. This jobs and employment study focuses on the recent
dynamics in Rwanda’s jobs’ landscape. Using data from a
variety of sources, mainly the three integrated households
living conditions surveys (EICV1, EICV2, and EICV3) and the
2011 establishment census, the report looks at what workers
in Rwanda are doing and what they are making, and how this
has changed over the past ten to fifteen years. Most of the
report focuses on the five years between 2006 and 2011,
although at times, the authors will also look at the
evolution since 2001. The report concludes with a number of
ideas to address Rwanda’s jobs challenge in the near future.
