Employment opportunities in the formal sector as well as salaries
increase with the level of education. Therefore, appropriately skilled
and qualified workers are highly needed in the Mozambican economy
(World Bank, 2004).
Although the business-enabling environment has improved in recent
years, cumbersome regulations and procedures still impose heavy costs
on business. Small and medium-sized enterprises-producers with
significant potential for export growth have been especially
disadvantaged by Mozambique's burdensome system of approvals,
licenses, and levies that impede market entry and raise the costs of
doing business.
Mozambique's labour laws are not in accord with international
norms and seriously impede job creation in the private sector.
Mozambique has a more highly regulated labour market than nine of
the ten most regulated countries in the world (DTIS, 2004).
