Economic Activities and Livelihoods Sample Clauses

Economic Activities and Livelihoods. The City of Lusaka is the major centre of economic activities in Zambia and accounted already in November 2007 for about 50% of any business establishments according to the CSO database (JICA 2009). Lusaka accounts also for almost 50% of the total number of employees in the national manu- facturing industry (LCC and ECZ 2008). Nonetheless, despite the concentration of economic activities or (value-added) wealth in the City, urban economic structure is still dominated by the informal sector (JICA 2009). In terms of household income, CSO (2011) recorded the second highest average monthly income for households in Lusaka Province (ZMW 1,779)3. Table 5-16 gives the average monthly income distribu- tion for Lusaka Province.
