Human Capital Dynamics and Industrial Transition in Cambodia

This study highlights some of the key human capital challenges on the way to successful industrial transition of the Cambodian economy. In particular, it emphasizes the close connection between the competitiveness of the labour force, the opportunities afforded the country and its people by an integrated ASEAN, and the country’s efforts and capacity to absorb its excess supply of under educated, unskilled labour that might otherwise be excluded from decent employment and the benefits of economic growth altogether.
