Interesting that weaving was a man’s profession in #Ethiopia, handed down from father to son. Lemlem wages have increased five-fold since it started producing in Addis Ababahttps://twitter.com/Cavanagh_Alice/status/1202207282441936901 …

Perhaps with training, productivity of the Addis workforce dramatically increased from what I assume was a very level at first?
@liyakebede might have a moment to explain the wages jump
Productivity does not explain a market wide change in wages in Addis. That would be driven by supply/demand and inflation. While textile processing is growing in Addis, the labor supply is probably growing faster. I don’t know what inflation has been over the period.

If I had to guess though, wages were increased because production realized they could get better overall output by paying more for higher skilled labor and lowering turnover through higher wages.
