HUMAN CAPITAL FORMATION BY MNES AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS
The previous section examined the role of host countries in attracting inward FDI and found that efforts to develop an attractive investment climate supported by sound policy reforms in HRD would help open doors to inward FDI. This section focuses on what host countries can do next to mobilise these MNEs to strengthen HRD further.
Attracting Service Sector MNEs
As shown in section II.2, services sector FDI has been a growing area in the past 15 years. Since the service sector FDI, in general, involves high value-added MNEs that possess knowledge and technology, host developing countries may want to mobilise their human resources so as to attract these types of MNEs. While not all servicesrelated MNEs require high-skilled workers, some of the growing services-related MNEs do actually require a high-skilled workforce. They include MNEs operating in the area of financial services, information technology, telecommunication, pharmaceutical, medical, as well as firms that locate regional headquarters in the host country.
Sectoral Trends of FDI in Developing Countries: Background
The recent waves of globalisation have substantially transformed the modes of production and trade in both developed and developing countries. This is reflected in the changes in the extent of information and technology in the workplace, firm’s production and organisational strategies, trade and FDI liberalisation policies, and new rules of international trade and investment. Given these developments, the sectoral trends (primary, manufacturing and services) in FDI have changed rapidly over the past two decades.
Trends in FDI in Developing Countries: Background
During the past two decades, a number of developing countries witnessed a growing importance of FDI as the primary source of financial capital flows into their economy. FDI brings not only increased access to foreign exchange, trade and employment, but also new products, information and technology. It is no coincidence that this rapid growth of FDI was accompanied by an increase in the level of human capital. The latter was achieved by strong government commitments to expand formal education and vocational training along with improved enterprise efforts to improve training opportunities for workers. This section looks at recent trends in both FDI and HRD in order to highlight the magnitude of this issue as well as to explain some of the key issues raised in this paper.
Introduction: HUMAN CAPITAL FORMATION AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Human resource development (HRD) and foreign direct investment (FDI) are among the key drivers of growth in developed and developing countries.
