Strong Kenya shilling hurting exports to Tanzania, Uganda

In economics if your man power is leaving the country, then you lose/drain brain.
Assuming that the country has limited of those brains in the first place. But Kenya has excess of them, too much for the economy to absorb (>900,000 students graduate from our colleges annually, yet <200000 jobs are created within the same period).

Such a country cannot be said to be facing an economic doldrum per se.
 
The per capita is high cos the absolute size of the gni is higher......seee?
No, Per capita is higher because the population of Tz is bigger.
But GNI per capita makes no sense in a country like kenya where inequality is so large. GNI per capita in inclusive economies like Tz is more accurate
 

Kenya has no excess number of trained labour. Le me give you example of sectors which has a shortage professionals in your country. First and foremost is health sector, this's why you imported some medical guys from Cuba. The second one is education, if I could have time, I would give many sectors, coz a list is long.

The population gap isnt that big. Tanzania has too small a population for its size.

The higher gni per capita also reflects that Kenya's economy is of better quality, given that more Kenyans are very much in control of their economy and enjoy higher incomes (remember that middle- class & dollar millionaire list I posted here recently?) than Tanzania

 
You are wrong on both. Kenya actually exports both medics and teachers.

When the Kenyan doctors refused to work claiming low pay (but waay higher than what their counterparts in Tanzania earn pm), and poor working conditions, the govt opted to higher Cuban who would more than willing to accept working here with same salary. Teachers have also been decrying similar conditions.
There are so many unemployed medics and teachers in Kenya in fact.
 

Brother go to the recommended ratios of
1. Teacher to Students/pupils.
2. Doctor to patients.

After that you'll be in position to tell if you've excess labour or NOT.

BTW the unemployment that you SEE in your country, it is bcoz your national budget cannot absolve all workers.
 
You dont know how to interprate economic numbers. GDP/GNI Per capita only makes sense in inclusive economies not in economies with a large number of millionares
GNI per capita= GNI / TOTAL POPULATION in which case Tz is larger so by arithmetic their gni per capita is smaller than kenya

Wapi hiyo data ulikotoa haya?

Na I wasnt comparing how many doctors Kenya, Tanzania or Uganda churn out per year. My point was that Kenya produces more skilled labor than the local job market can absorb, forcing others to seek work outside the country, remitting huge bulk of their earnings to Kenya. And this skilled labour is not limited to just doctors and teachers.

Your free advice though good, was completely unnecessary.
