This book concentrates on Senegal's urban industrial sector, which has performed poorly despite a relatively mature base at independence, considerable investment since, and preferential trade agreements. The authors combine institutional analysis with econometric estimation to provide an understanding of the functioning of Senegal's industrial labor market and to evaluate the effects of public policy in several key areas. Of special concern are the effects of different forms of ownership of firms, the value of export-oriented development, and government regulation. Also evaluated are the impact of trade unions, organizational characteristics of firms, ethnic and skill composition of the labor force, and training and educational programs within Senegal
