Fewer than 10% of African workers find jobs in manufacturing, and among those only a tiny fraction – as low as one-tenth – are employed in modern, formal firms with adequate technology. Distressingly, there has been very little improvement in this regard, despite high growth rates.
但加总数字表现出完全不同的情景。只有不到10%的非洲工人在制造业找到了工作，而他们之中又只有一小部分——大概只有十分之一——受雇于拥有先进技术的正规现代企业。糟糕的是，尽管非洲增长率很高，这方面却鲜有赶紧。事实上，如今撒哈拉以南地区的现代化程度还不如20世纪80年代。现代行业，特别是非资源可贸易行业的私人投资并未增长，不足以维持结构转型。
