Abstract Cuba faces a development dilemma: it promotes equity and human capital while failing to deliver economic growth. For the government, the country's equity and human capital achievements are a source of pride, a sign that its priorities are right. This essay argues instead that this “equity without growth” dilemma is a sign of malaise. Theory and evidence suggest that high levels of equity and human capital should produce high levels of economic growth. Because growth is often weak or negative, some onerous barriers to development must be present. These barriers, it is argued, are restrictions on property and political rights. By comparing Cuba and China across two sectors, the bicycle industry and Internet access, this article shows how these restrictions have hindered growth. It also assesses how Cuba's latest economic reforms, the so-called Lineamientos, will address Cuba's development dilemma. The impact may be minimal, but perhaps more lasting than previous reforms.

Abstract According to the Eurostat the old-age dependency (people aged 65 or above relative to those aged 15- 64) in the EU will rise from 28% in 2010 to 58% in 2060. During the same period total hours works are projected to fall contributing to a low projected economic growth over the next half-century. In this paper we argue that this gloomy picture might be challenged by an increase in the employment rates of older workers. Using Sweden as an illustration we show that the ratio of individuals with income from both pension and market work has increased strongly during the last decade. During the same period economic reforms have been introduced creating economic incentives in order to delay the exit from the labor market. In this paper we demonstrate the importance of these economic reforms in explaining increased working hours. The paper also evaluates the fiscal impact of the increase in the employment rates.

Educational Programmes

The author argues that opportunities to upgrade the skills of the working population in India should be increased to enable people to adapt to a knowledge- and technology-intensive economy. The lack of such opportunities has been adversely affecting economic growth and well-being. Investments in high-quality and relevant educational programmes at all levels should be increased, with an emphasis on self-sustaining means of funding which are possible in the liberalized fiscal and financial regimes. To the extent that higher education activities are economic in nature and reward the beneficiaries, the costs of services should accordingly be recovered. The implementation of self-financing measures would, however, require the creation of a conducive policy environment through consensus building among the stakeholders to improve the responsiveness of educational systems to the manpower requirements of the emerging Indian economy, and thus to make it efficient and competitive and able to exploit new opportunities to its advantage.

This conclusion revisits the book's central themes and explores their relevance for development strategies. It first considers the economic divide in India, arguing that it is also a cultural one and that both are reinforced by economic reforms that benefit specific class segments to the exclusion of others. It then discusses India's reliance on the global market and international trade, along with the effect of the outsourcing debate on the attitudes of business, policymakers, and the citizenry. It also calls for the denaturalization of globalization and construction of alternative paths of development that allow for experimentation and creativity. Finally, it contends that the prevailing desire for economic growth must be situated within a broader framework in which social goals can be pursued simultaneously.

Capital Development

This chapter aims to investigate the importance of human capital as a key success factor to economic growth and modern economic reforms as well as exploring determinants of human capital. Then factors influencing human capital accumulation as well as case studies are discussed to illustrate the influence of human capital to economic growth and reforms. Together with economic reforms, supportive education and human capital development policies, some countries could generate a dramatic technology and economic development. Currently, human capital even becomes crucial because of this technological progress. Thus, modern economic reform needs more intense human capital accumulation to cope with more advanced technology. In this chapter, we investigate the role of human capital accumulation by education and migration process in economic reforms and development of three countries with completely different conditions of economic development.

The article combines the research of a system of indicators and authors’ reflections elaborated on the basis of material. The authors believe that study of Poland's economic reforms will provide an opportunity to apply a positive experience for the further development of the Ukrainian economy. Using different approaches to governance, two countries have reached different results. Today, the gap in the rates of economic development of Ukraine and Poland is increasing. Accession to the EU and systemic structural reforms in the country until 2004 contributed to the acceleration of Poland's economic growth. Ukraine for a long time failed to implement effective reforms, which have caused to the backlog of the national economy from the economies of neighboring countries.

This paper examines the causal relationship between the real GDP and the total export of goods and services produced in India during the period 1990-91 to 2011-12. The main emphasis is to substantiate the importance of exports in the growth process of Indian economy after the economic reforms taken up in the early part of the 90s’ In other words, the study is to see the validity of economic strategy of export-led growth in case of India. The empirical findings of the study indicated that there is a bi-directional causality between GDP and export of the economy. And the hypothesis that export-led-growth is valid in case of the Indian economy for the period under study.
