Explaining information sector growth in developing countries

Raul L. Katz

Telecommunications Policy, 1986, vol. 10, issue 3, 209-228

Abstract: This article explores the growth of the information workforce in the developing world, and presents a framework to explain the occupational shift to information-related jobs. The model includes economic variables, such as industrialization and division of labour, and political variables, such as growth of governments. This model is supported by preliminary descriptive statistics. Policy implications are drawn to help developing countries' policy makers formulate appropriate growth strategies.
