Dili, Timor-Leste, 31 May 2010
This paper represents part two of a report written by Peace Dividend Trust on the Timor-Leste’s private sector. The first paper, written in October 2009, provided a general overview of the local business community, while this paper focuses on the Timor-Leste employment landscape in the private sector. Findings in this report are intended to improve knowledge and awareness of the domestic marketplace.
Data presented in this report was derived from a database of businesses developed by PDT and its Peace Dividend Marketplace Timor-Leste (PDM-TL) project. The database is funded by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the Government of Norway and developed in partnership with the Timor-Leste Ministry of Tourism, Commerce and Industry (MTCI).
Data for this report was collected between 1 November 2007 and 23 November 2009. During this period, a total of 2,459 businesses employing 24,892 workers were surveyed by PDT’s verification team. An individual profile of each business can be found on the PDM-TL Business Portal at BuildingMarkets.org.
