Policy Briefs

This brief assesses the effect of the length of schooling on how long a Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) graduate spends unemployed. The analysis is motivated by observations that despite some 800,000 to 1,000,000 of graduates entering the labour market in Tanzania every year (NBS, 2015), on average the economy creates only about 250,000 jobs a year, with most graduates taking about 5.5 years to secure a wage job (Haji, 2015). In Tanzania, while many studies have focused on the incidence of unemployment (See Ndyali, 2016; Kipesha & Msigwa, 2013; Manacorda, 2008), few have explored unemployment duration. This brief will highlight the concept of unemployment duration that graduates experience in their transition to employment.
