| Summary: | The problems of employment have become a
central global concern in recent times. This makes nearly
all the governments and development partners to be fully
engaged in finding a lasting solution to the problems. In
the past, development planning efforts were concentrated on
the development of a modern industrial sector. It was
believed that this would serve the domestic market and
facilitate the absorption of redundant or surplus workers in
the urban economy. It was also the belief that rapid
economic growth and development would be achieved. The study
is structured into five chapters. While chapter one looks at
the background to the study, the terms of reference and the
structure of the report, chapter two focuses on copious
relevant literature on skills development bringing out the
conceptual definitions, theoretical and empirical issues in
the informal sector of the economy. Chapter three presents
the methodology of how training providers as well as the
beneficiaries of the programs were surveyed in the study.
Chapter four gives the inventory of the programs for the
informal sector skills development and a detailed analysis
of five most important non- state-run programs in the
country. Chapter five forms the conclusions and
recommendations of the work. |
