Leather will boost labour
19/03/2008
Minister for labour and employment, Oscar Fernandes, said: “To make growth more inclusive, it is vital that more people gain access to more productive assets with which they can themselves generate decent incomes. It is also vital that GDP growth generates sufficient demand for wage labour so that those who cannot be self-employed are employed at decent wages.”
He said the government also wanted to double agriculture growth to help in this process.
The minister said specifically that the government would take measures to boost labour-intensive sectors, including leather products, footwear and textiles.
