“…Despite Malaysia's massive educational expansion, no significant increase in the rate of return to schooling was found for the period 1984–97 (Milanovic 2006). A recent study of Philippines’ data over the 1980–2001 period concluded that only population growth has a significant impact on economic growth; education had a positive but insignificant impact (Canlas 2003). 21 For Taiwan, its ability to export has been the lead actor in its per capita GNP growth (Fan and Fan 2004).…”

This paper surveys the literature on the links between education and economic growth in East Asia. It finds that education is important for economic growth but it is not a sufficient condition. The complementarity between education and other factors in enhancing productivity and efficiency is commonly seen as the driving force of economic growth. However, the empirical evidence is ambiguous due to econometric problems. Statistical analysis suggests that education and economic growth in East Asia have two-way causality. Nevertheless, valuing education has been a widely-accepted part of Asian values. As a result, education consistently presents as a significant income determinant and consequentially a growth factor, regardless of whether education can increase productivity. East Asian education systems are also formed and extended in close relation to the stages of their economic development: the higher the level of economic development, the greater the demand for better and higher education systems.

“…Other studies show that below a certain threshold level of family income, married women work even if they have only low levels of education. However, if family income is above that threshold, married women with considerable levels of education may opt not to work because their spouses can already support the family (Canlas & Encarnacion 1976;Encarnacion 1973). This hypothesis is consistent with the traditional sexual division of labor, with husbands as main economic providers and wives as homemakers and providers of child care.…”

Are You In or Out? An Inquiry into the Source and Audience of Job Advertisements

This inquiry into the source and audience of job advertisements takes a multi-disciplinary perspective by integrating contemporary labor economics theory into the study of mass media phenomenon. This approach enriches the analysis and interpretation of the manifest and latent content of job advertisements addressed to the working-age population. In analyzing the content of job advertisements and comparing the results with the statistics and literature, the study finds that, given limited information about actual productivity, firms rationally stereotype among workers on the basis of observable indicators such as age, sex, education, years of work experience, proficiency, skills and traits.
