Developing the Workforce in an Emerging Economy: The Case of Indonesia

by Kantha Dayaram (Editor), Linda Lambey (Editor), John Burgess (Editor), Tri Wulida Afrianty (Editor)

Overview

This edited volume examines how forces of globalization, demographic and technological change are manifested and accommodated in an emerging economy such as Indonesia, which has a large workforce pool.

Using the human resource development framework, the book explains the opportunities and challenges in developing human capabilities to support current and future living standards. It looks at human development challenges across the spectrum of workforce skills and across the spectrum of formal and informal labour markets. Through the case study on Indonesia, this book presents many of the features and issues that are present in emerging economies as they grapple with human resource development in the globalized and networked era.

This book will appeal to researchers and policy makers working in the areas of human resource and economic development.
