The record in some areas has been less impressive; especially in the creation of decent work for those who want to work .This study offers a number of recommendations for policies and institutions for employment creation and promotion of decent work. The author argues that the labour - absorptive capacity of the economy can be increased by accelerating the rate of economic reforms. The recommendations of the research also reflect the main outcomes of the several rounds of consultations that were undertaken in formulating the strategy which were led by MOLISA and included other ministries, in particular MPI, the National Assembly, orkers and Employers’ organizations and key academics and researchers. In this regard, the research provides the foundation for a coherent socio economic framework for the generation of full, productive, and works.
