"HiitoricalData onthe fisonomy of Cypiu» l960-t991",p,184. So what did the structure of the economy, in terms of employment and income, look like after ten years of independence? The simple answer is, not much différent than it had a decade earlier. In 1970 agriculture included 4% less of the gainfully employed than in 1960, though the sector still produced under 16% of GDP (compare Figures 2.1 and 2.2 with Figures 2.5 and 2.6). Construction still exhibited signs of low productivity, 10.5% of labour producing just 7% of GDP. By 1970, manufacturing had become slightly less productive, over 13.7% of labour 75
producing 12% of GDP. Tourism (restaurant and hôtels) revealed similar signs of under-employment, 3.7% of labour contributing 2.1% to national income. Again, only in the mining, transport, financia! and property services industries, was underemployment absent. Mining and quarrying employed less labour and generated more income; 2.0% and 6% respectively. Transport Storage and communications remained, in labour productivity terms, fairly static, employing in 1970, 4.7% of labour and producing 9% of GDP, while the financial, property and business sector was stili the economy's star performer, though slightly less so, with 1.7% of labour producing 17% of GDP.

One of the major objectives of the economie planning adopted after independence was to restructure the economy so as to increase productivity and reduce dependence on a few insecure, external soùrces of income. 76
