Abstract: Abstract The objective of the calibration of the MACBETH model in Sri Lanka, described in this chapter, was to assess the implications of alternative growth paths on employment and (broad) skill requirements.1 The chapter is organized as follows. The next section presents the basic data used to calibrate the model, the subsequent section describes the reference or base scenario to the year 2000. Then, five alternative scenarios are presented in Section 4 and the chapter ends with a summary and conclusion.
