Including Wage Labor in Value Chain Analyses: A Guide. Leveraging Economic Opportunities Report No. 53

This labor market analysis guide is designed to enable market system practitioners and donors to gain a basic understanding of wage labor opportunities and dynamics within target value chain(s). The annexes provide sample survey instruments for capturing information about wage labor in the target value chains, as well as a sample scope of work for a labor market assessment specialist.  While this guide is not specific to youth, by addressing wage labor it addresses an important source of income for young people within the agriculture sector—a consideration often overlooked by agriculture programs.
