摘要:

This paper by Singapore's former Deputy Prime Minister explains Singapore's industrial development in which the electronics industry was a major propellant. The growth of industry from the late 1960s cleared the backlog of unemployment, created demand for technical staff which transformed the education system and facilitated technology transfer to Singaporean companies. It also proved a developmental force as it moved into neighbouring countries when labour shortage in Singapore became a constraint. The article traces the role of multinational companies and of technical education in Singapore's ascent of the technology ladder and, more briefly, that of Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia.

摘要:

This article surveys the literature on the economic position of women in Asian countries. Statistics show that the relative position of women improves with economic development. A negative income effect on women's economic participation in the paid workforce results in an inverse U‐shaped relationship between female participation rate and economic development. Cultural influences affect the degree of discrimination against women, and these vary between countries. China and Australia illustrate the potentially moderating role of government policy on gender discriminatio
