Abstract
From Arthur Lewis’ seminal paper to Michael Todaro’s model, there has been an attempt to explain migration from rural to urban areas. However, no attempt has been made to determine the trajectory of employment in a dual economy in order to increase employment. In this paper, we set up a planning model to determine the optimal trajectory of employment in a dual economy. A CES production function is used to determine the trajectory of the short-run employment and minimize the distance between the two trajectories. From this result, we suggest a strategy to increase employment in South Africa.
