The objective in this note is to show the change in wage dispersion in response to increases in the relative supply of educated workers in two low-income countries. We also measure the relative contributions to that change of its two components: the effect of the educational expansion on the educational composition of the labor force (holding the educational structure of wages constant), and the resultant compression of that structure (holding composition constant). The paper's analysis is based on three precisely comparable surveys of wage employees conducted in Tanzania in 1971 and 1980, and in Kenya in 1980.

Unemployment in South Africa is so widespread that it demands an explanation. This paper examines a central question about South African unemployment. Why do the unemployed not enter the informal sector, as is common in other developing countries? The data do not support the idea that unemployment is largely voluntary. The policy implications––that government should diminish labor market segmentation and the obstacles to entering the productive informal sector––may be relevant also to other developing countries with high unemployment.
