Abstract
This paper derives from a study that was commissioned by the ESRF, under the “Globalisation and East
Africa Project”. The study investigated the ways in which globalisation, specifically, the economic
reforms pursued by the Tanzanian government and the presence of foreign and exporting firms, have
impacted on the labour market. The aim of this paper is to present the key findings from that study, as
well as to discuss some emerging policy issues. As such, this paper does not contain detailed discussions
of the theoretical basis and methodology of the study. Interested readers can refer to the research report
for such details
