Abstract: For some authors (Rodrik, 2015 and 2017), deindustrialization is premature in sub-Saharan countries. This implies that the period of industrialization has been too short, with too little job creation and growth to guarantee a development trajectory. This article studies the impacts of different demands (global/domestic) on industrialization. Our work shows that SSA countries suffer from premature deindustrialization that is rooted in de-mand mechanisms and not just in supply mechanisms.
