Details
Dear Bidder,
The International Labour Office (ILO) is seeking an individual External Collaborator to conduct research on sectoral productivity, employment and structural transformation across countries at different income levels.
The research will require the consultant to avail a dataset covering developing economies and, ideally, some high-income countries, with data on economic output and employment by sector, distinguishing formal/modern and informal/subsistence activities.
The assignment comprises three tasks:
a) Sectoral analysis: Calculate productivity levels and gaps, and employment shares, across 14 formal/informal or modern/traditional sector segments and three country income groups. Based on the findings, identify 6–8 sufficiently homogeneous sectors/segments according to their productivity and employment profiles. b) Development profiling: Develop charts showing productivity levels and gaps and employment shares across the selected sectors/segments and income groups, identifying how employment structures evolve as countries' per capita income increases. c) Shift-share decomposition: Conduct a triple shift-share analysis of productivity and employment growth within and between the selected sectors/segments across the three income groups. Particular attention should be given to the respective contributions of within-sector productivity gains and structural change, notably in subsistence agriculture and urban services. Modern and subsistence agriculture should be treated as structurally distinct. Regional comparisons among developing countries would also be useful.
Interested candidates are invited to consult the detailed Terms of Reference and submission instructions on the ILO e-sourcing platform.
Please submit your proposal by the specified deadline.
Thank you.
