Can Asia reach high-income status?
21st May 2017
A useful blog here from the Asian Development Bank on some strategies for Asian countries wanting to escape the so-called middle-income trap. Spending more on research and innovation is seen as key together with increased investment in education. Middle-income economies that successfully graduated to high income had 2.5 times more research and development stock per worker as those that did not.
