An analysis of the educational system and of the possibilities of improving the calibre of the labor force through the educational
system follow follows. Next comes a chapter on "the structure of demand." Even Ethiopia, it seems, has a problem of educated employment or educated underemployment; the government has been the principal employer of college graduates. However, the authors state, the outlook for college graduates in the liberal
