Service Sector Labor intensive: growing source of jobs, about % of all workers in Asia region A more productive and dynamic service sector would help sustain the region’s economic growth, make it more inclusive, and contribute to poverty reduction

From Traditional to Modern Services Low productivity due to dominance of traditional services (e.g. wholesale and retail trade, and personal services)Low productivity due to dominance of traditional services (e.g. wholesale and retail trade, and personal services) Productivity and value addition are higher in modern services such as knowledge intensive services, which have high importance to Asia (e.g. ICT, finance, legal services, business services, management support)Productivity and value addition are higher in modern services such as knowledge intensive services, which have high importance to Asia (e.g. ICT, finance, legal services, business services, management support)

Policies and Strategies RationalePossible Benefits Skills for Competitiveness, Jobs, and Employability in Developing Asia Establish skills development in clusters close to industrial corridors in collaboration with employers. The skills needs of a group of industry sectors need to be served effectively for economy-wide competitiveness. Skills development that can serve multiple but interrelated industries means that the workforce can move across different industries based on demand.

Policies and Strategies RationalePossible Benefits Skills for Competitiveness, Jobs, and Employability in Developing Asia (Cont.) Skills development across the value chain from simple to sophisticated skills levels. Competitiveness in the main industry may rely upon the competitiveness of the supply chain industries; skills development upstream and downstream are valuable. Workforce with skills at different levels can be productively deployed. There is more effective development and utilization of the skills at different levels.

Policies and Strategies RationalePossible Benefits Skills for Competitiveness, Jobs, and Employability in Developing Asia (Cont.) Develop a cadre of “tech workers,” along with suitable credentials, to meet the skills needs associated with higher-value and precision manufacturing standards, and qualify for global value chains. There is a growing trend of assimilating information technologies in the manufacturing environment, with increasing requirements for precision standards. Economies can move up the value chain with more sophisticated manufacturing capabilities, which are needed to avoid the middle-income trap.

Policies and Strategies RationalePossible Benefits Skills for Competitiveness, Jobs, and Employability in Developing Asia (cont.) Blend the development of higher-order services sector skills. Economies could develop full-sector competitiveness strengths in manufacturing and downstream services sectors. Higher-order manufacturing capabilities open the way to develop higher-order services sector capabilities. Along with manufacturing, economies can simultaneously build capabilities in high- value knowledge- intensive skills for the services sector, such as branding, advertising, and other knowledge-oriented services.

Policies and Strategies RationalePossible Benefits Skills for Competitiveness, Jobs, and Employability in Developing Asia (Cont.) Invest in increasing skills and knowledge intensity in small and medium firms. Informal labor markets dominate the Asian region; small and medium firms do not have adequate resources to invest in building and upgrading skills. Small and medium firms are vital to increasing creativity and innovation in the economy; therefore, skills development for the small and medium enterprises sector will have good spin-offs.

Policies and Strategies RationalePossible Benefits Skills for Competitiveness, Jobs, and Employability in Developing Asia (Cont.) Develop skills credentials, qualifications, and assessment systems in partnership with industry. There is evidence of growing problems of skills mismatch even though investment in education and training has been increasing. Industry and employer-validated credentials, together with assessment systems, reduces the gap in the transition from training to the work place.

Policies and Strategies RationalePossible Benefits Skills for Competitiveness, Jobs, and Employability in Developing Asia (Cont.) Develop skills that facilitate linking suppliers and customers, and communicating across cultures. In an increasingly globalized world, effective communications are crucial for the competitiveness of companies. Economies can create borderless workforces capable of supporting global value chains; broader and transferable skills are also developed in addition to technical skills.

Amplifying role of industry for relevance in training Competency based training Qualification Framework Affirmative action to increase participation and jobs User choice in financing & delivery Modernized and effective LMIS, ICT Aligning skills devt to economic priorities Skills eco system: Industry for demand side Governmet for regulation and affirmative action Professional bodies for quality assurance and certification Skills Development – Building an Eco System Constituent Elements A Skills Development Eco System

Skills Development Projects – ADB Approach Sustainability Approach Strengthen sustainable financing of skills development but also skills for sustainability such as green sectors People Approach Work for different demographic profiles; for large populations; disadvantaged communities; life long learning and upskilling opportunities; scholarships, stipends for girls, ethnic groups Strategy Approach Move from skills development to workforce development; improving relevance and fit; bridging with the world of work
