Angola's<br>situation is greatly affected by the Civil War that has engulfed that country for the past two decades. Data must be<br>handled with great care. Data on Wages and salaries as percentage of GDP are taken from IMF Background paper<br>No. SM/951258 of October 4, 1995 and relate to 1994. GDP, Average Government wages and Average Public<br>wages to per capita GDP are based on calculations emanating from this data.

They reflect data<br>gathered through Establishment surveys, that is, data on the number of workers on establishment payrolls. This in<br>turn may result in an underestimation of employment.|
