ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between firm productivity, wage dynamics, and employment patterns in Ethiopia’s manufacturing sector, using firm-level data from the Large and Medium Manufacturing and Electricity Industries Survey (LIMMS) for 2018–2020. In line with the objectives of the SAW-A project — which promotes adequate wages and sustainable livelihoods through improved wage-setting and social dialogue—the study explores how firm characteristics such as size, age, and ownership shape the translation of productivity gains into fair and decent remuneration for workers.
