The expansion of these mostly small-scale and labor-intensive industries in both urban
and rural areas can be accomplished in two ways: directly, through government
intervention and indirectly through investment incentives for the private sector. This is
because the consumption activities of barrio folk demand less import-intensive and
more labor-intensive than that of the rich (there are less import-oriented shopping
malls in the provinces!)
The phenomenon of the educated unemployed calls into question the appropriateness
and relevance of the educational system, especially at the higher levels in this country.
The creation of attractive economic opportunities in rural areas would make it easier to
redirect educational system toward the needs of rural development. The present
educational systems, being transplant of Western systems, are oriented toward
preparing students to function in a small modern sector which can absorb only so much
of school-leavers. Many of the necessary skills for development therefore remain largely
neglected.
