What skill-development strategies should developing countries adopt
to compete successfully in the international markets of the 21st
century? This innovative new book provides a blend of theory and
case studies which shed new light on this important question. It
approaches the question from two angles. It considers, first, how
skill development affects a country's international competitiveness
and, secondly, what a government should do to develop a country's
skills. It concludes that development of skills is necessary for a
country to make the transition from primary exports to manufactures
and from labour-intensive to skill-intensive manufacturing. For
this purpose, it is argued an education system that recognizes the
return to improvements in quality, and a training system that
internalizes externalities and prevents market failure are needed.
Issues explored include: the arguments for an activist
skill-development policy (with particular emphasis on education of
girls and women); the transition from cheap labour to skill-based
competitiveness; human resources and structural adjustment; and
different approaches to training for countries and enterprises at
different levels of technological development. Skill Development
for International Competitiveness will be of interest to academics,
students and researchers in the fields of development studies,
development economics, the economics of education and training and
labour economics. Policymakers and planners responsible for
policies on human resource development and employment and overall
development strategy will also find this a vital source of
information.
