One problem with the above targets and measurement mechanism is that it does not consider the Angolanization rate by occupation. Triggered by that and upcoming petroleum developments, in 2002 the Ministry of Petroleum launched the first study in the country that looked at the labor demand across the oil value chain by occupation. Findings from the study showed that Angolanization rates are lower in upstream engineering occupations, and that the overall rate was 91 percent (Table 1.14).

A view of the Angolanization rates in upstream operations between administrative and technical occupations by job grade, presented in Table 1.15, shows that administrative occupations achieved higher rates.10 The rates across the various administrative occupations are consistent with the average by job grade.
