| Summary: | Creating jobs and increasing
productivity are key concerns for policy makers across the
globe. For East Asian countries seeking to reduce poverty,
expanding employment and productivity is at the top of the
agenda. This book is a comprehensive look at the demand and
supply of skills in Indonesia how skills have changed, how
they will continue to evolve, and how the education and
training sectors can be improved to be more responsive and
relevant to the needs of the labor market and the economy as
a whole. Using an innovative firm survey, the authors shed
light on the functional skills that workers must possess to
be employable and to support firms' competitiveness and
productivity. They also assess the role of the education and
training systems in providing those skills. Although this
book focuses specifically on Indonesia, its methodologies,
messages, and analysis will be instructive for researchers
and policy makers who shape the delivery of education and
training in other middle-income countries around the world. |
