Multi-dimensional Review of Myanmar

Volume 2. In-depth Analysis and Recommendations

image of Multi-dimensional Review of Myanmar

Building on an initial assessment of constraints to development in Myanmar (Volume 1), this second volume provides analysis and policy recommendations in three key areas: structural transformation, education and skills, and financing development. It finds that Myanmar faces a crucial few years to shape growth towards a higher, more sustainable and equitable trajectory. To succeed, it will require a transformation of the economy from an agrarian base reliant on small-scale agriculture at present towards a broad range of modern activities. Building up the right skills in the workforce will be essential to support this structural transformation. Myanmar’s transformation will also depend upon how effectively the country can mobilise and allocate the financial resources needed to support its development, which could amount to as much as an additional 5-10% of GDP on average over the next two decades.

Filling the skills gap in Myanmar

OECD Development Centre

This chapter analyses Myanmar’s education and training system with a focus on the skills in Myanmar’s workforce. It looks at how to develop relevant skills – especially through technical and vocational education and training (TVET) – how to encourage people to actively contribute their skills to the labour market, and how to make sure people’s skills are put to effective use. The chapter also assesses and provides recommendations for strengthening the policy framework for the skills system in Myanmar.
