Human resources development : intersectoral coordination and other issues

Abstract

Notes that the distinctive feature of the Jakarta Plan of Action is its integrated-thematic approach where the major issues associated with the development of human resources development are classified under the three major themes of employment and manpower development, science and technology, and quality of life. The study examines the way in which these themes are incorporated in intersectoral human resources development policy-making, planning and programming. Five developing countries: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka are examined as case-studies, and a series of policy recommendations are presented
