How education and training systems
respond to the sweeping changes brought about by
globalization and the knowledge economy can have
far-reaching implications for developing countries in terms
of sustainability of growth, competitiveness, job creation,
and poverty reduction. This issue is especially pertinent to
the countries of South Asia, which are currently growing at
a rapid pace and are gradually becoming more integrated into
the world economy. This regional study is a first attempt to
address these questions. Its main objective is to document
and compare trends in education and training in the
countries of South Asia, as well as the associated changes
in earnings and employment. It draws upon household, labor
force, and firm-level surveys from 1990 to the most recent
year available. The analysis focuses on Bangladesh, India,
Pakistan, and Sri Lanka (countries with well-developed
surveys), with some references to Bhutan, the Maldives, and
Nepal, along with comparisons with countries in East Asia
and with other regions. |
