About the report
The Inclusive Growth in Mozambique project is implementing a systematic study on the transition of university students as they finish their studies and enter the labour market. The baseline survey is the first round of the study that continues until the end of 2019. This is the first report of the study and it maps the characteristics and employment expectations of the final year university students in Mozambique.
The full report and the Policy Brief summarising its results will be available in both Portuguese and English on the project website on 4 September 2018.
