World Bank East Asia and Pacific Regional Report |
| description |
A fundamental question facing East Asia,
especially its low- and middle income economies, is how to
sustain or even accelerate the growth of recent decades.
From 1950 to 2005, for example, the region's real
income per head rose sevenfold. With aging populations,
these economies will need to derive an increasing share of
growth from productivity improvements rather than from
physical factor accumulation to drive growth. The book
argues that higher education is failing to deliver skills
for growth and research for innovation because of widespread
disconnects between higher education institutions and other
skill and research users and providers. These disconnects
undermine the very functioning of the higher education
system. The main assumption of the report is that to deliver
labor market skills to higher education graduates, these
institutions: (a) must have characteristics that are aligned
with what employers and employees need; and (b) must be well
connected among themselves and other skills providers.
Similarly, to deliver research that can enhance innovation
and productivity, higher education institutions need to have
a strong role in research provision and have strong links
with firms and other research providers. |
