Assessment of the Impact of Labour Market Liberalization on Maize Productivity and Rural Poverty in Malawi
Charity Chonde Chanza

The paper is a study of the agricultural sector of Malawi, with special emphasis on maize which forms the mainstay of food production in the country. The study tries to determine the effects of new government policies on total production, productivity and labour absorption in the sector. This paper has been partly drawn from a study that developed analytical frameworks and applied various interrelated theoretical models (Cobb-Douglas and Frontier Production Function and Divisia Index) that could point to causal relationships among various factors including labour market performance, agricultural (maize) production and productivity in Malawi.
