BIDPA study reveals hideous wage disparity

According to a study on export diversification conducting by Professor Roman Grynberg of BIDPA, the high salaries for skilled labour in the non-mining private sector have eaten into the rate of return for investing in Botswana thereby discouraging investments into the sector.

Because of the high-end colossal wages in the products and services, Grynberg says that Botswana has become uncompetitive for the export market throwing spanners in the economic diversification efforts.
