# Tanzania 2024 ILFS — Jobs Diagnostic Report
A jobs diagnostic of Tanzania based on the 2024 Integrated Labour Force Survey (ILFS), prepared as part of a short-term consulting engagement for **FCDO via ODI**. This repository contains the LaTeX report, BibTeX references, all figures cited in the report, and a self-contained Stata do-file that reproduces the underlying tabulations from the raw ILFS microdata.
## Engagement summary
**Short-Term Consultant — Tanzania Jobs Diagnostic** (Feb 2026 – Mar 2026)
*Labour economics consulting engagement, remote (UK).*
- Analysed the 2024 Tanzania Labour Force Survey for a 30-page jobs diagnostic paper, focusing on how employment status, informality, earnings, and labour-market attachment differ by gender and age.
- Wrote the report section on informal work in Tanzania using Gary Fields' high- and low-informality categories, linking survey evidence to policy-relevant discussion of vulnerability and job quality.
- Delivered clean, reproducible Stata and R code, regression tables, descriptive figures, and documented intermediate datasets for integration into the final diagnostic paper.
- Built practical knowledge of Tanzania's poverty, employment, and urbanisation context, including constraints facing youth, women, and informal workers.
