However, this growth has been largely jobless in nature, meaning that while output increased, employment generation did not keep pace with the growing labour force. The manufacturing sector, expected to absorb surplus labour from agriculture, has not expanded sufficiently to provide large-scale employment. Consequently, the employment elasticity of growth has declined, indicating that high economic growth did not translate proportionately into job creation.
