7 Needed: Further Structural Transformation Issues Future is set : Service economies Agriculture: 700 million workers Industrialization Education GVCs Questions What type of transformation is expected to take place in the coming decades? How will the transformation happen? How fast will Asia continue changing?

Bhutan, Georgia, Viet Nam, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Armenia, Samoa, PRC, Indonesia, and the Philippines are the countries with less than % projected output shares for 40.
9 Change in employment share and Productivity growth Sectors that gained the most employment registered positive but relatively low productivity growth Prod ductivity grow wth (% per year ) Restructuring t Dynamic PRC India Indonesia Service sector employment remains much more dependent on domestic demand than manufacturing employment and, as a consequence, the former is less globalized than the latter India PRC PRC India Indonesia Agriculture, Hunting, Fores try and Fishing, Mining and Quarrying Manufacturing Construction and Public Utilities Wholesale and Retail Trade, Hotels and Restaurants Transport, Storage and Communication Finance, Real Estate and Business Services Public Services Percentage points change in employment share (199 09) Size of bubbles represents employment share in 09 Countries: Indonesia, India, PRC, Japan, Korea, and Taipei,China

11 Education and Diversification (RCA) are positively correlated.but there is a lot of noise 7 Education and Export Diversification (00) 6 Log(nu umber of pr roducts wit th RCA>1) Is Diversification a path dependent process? The role of education Diversification is path dependent : countries tend to develop comparative advantage in small steps y = 0.189x R² = Quantity or Quality of education? The quality of education matters more than the quantity for economic diversification But high quality education allows countries to take bigger steps and reduce the effect of path dependence Average number of years of schooling
12 How do sectors rank in terms of educational attainment? 1 = most educated sector 1 = least educated sector
13 Priorities for Asia s transformation by region Economies with agriculture as the largest sector that have failed to industrialize that diversified that are still low income rich in natural resources that are small il islands Priorities must develop sectors outside the countryside to absorb labor and industrialize the country side must develop a deeper and broader industrial base must upgrade industries to avoid middle income trap should follow their comparative advantage, and also facilitate t the accumulation of capabilities, foster diversification and upgrading, and target activities in some advanced industries must make efforts to diversify the economy will probably bypass industrialization. They should nurture niches ih in services
14 Summing Up: Where to, How, and How Fast? Where to? Higher Income.. Over 700 million people employed in agriculture Services already the largest sector in Asia s GDP But services will become the largest employer Dilemma: But what type of services? How? There is no one size fits all package of policies and institutions to expedite transformation Industrial Policy, if well designed,, can help expedite transformation (INNOVATION UPGRADING) How Fast? It will be difficult for many countries to reproduce the experiences of the NIEs 14
