Abstract
Manpower policy was little known in Ethiopia before the downfall of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974 and his feudalist regime. Since then the ideological commitment of the authorities to Marxism has resulted in the extensive use of ‘teleological’ planning as an economic mechanism for the allocation and growth of physical and human resources. With respect to human resources, teleological planning means that once production targets have been set by various official bodies and have been approved by the appropriate authorities, the education and training systems are asked to produce the appropriate manpower, in volume and skills, required to achieve those targets.
