This study seeks to understand how labour markets actually work in insecure and dynamic contexts, based on the idea that creation of good jobs and decent work in conflict-affected areas creates wealthier economies, safer societies, and legitimate states.
Analysis is conducted in the catering sector of Lira, a town in post-conflict northern Uganda. It finds that Lira’s urban labour market is not meeting the needs of the town’s youth: poorly paid, stressful and insecure, little chance for promotion, and high instances of horizontal mobility (quickly abandoning one position for another of the same caliber).
