The paper show that the informatization of the African economies has been accelerating during adjustment, with employment in the formal wage sector lagging behind. In all countries the growth rate of employment was below that of the influx of new job-seekers onto the labour market -- implying that the formal sector is steadily decreasing its share of total employment. However, in some countries the problem is rather more acute as the level of employment has continued to decline in absolute numbers during adjustment. Limited employment creation is the private sector is below of the level of retrenchment in the public sector.
