Introducing a New GLM|LIC Project

We are happy to introduce a new GLM|LIC project “Are Labor Costs in Africa too High?” led by Principal Investigator Dr. Vijaya Ramachandran (Center for Global Development). This project aims to anaylse one of the most important issues that many African countries face today: the higher wages relative to productivity and the future of manufacturing in Africa.

The findings of the project brought an interesting and lively discussion among economists on the internet. In addition to one policy brief and one working paper, the project has received wide media coverage: an article from Quartz, one Podcast from the CGD team.
