Abstract:
This study investigates the effect of the latest wave of economic globalization on manufacturing employment in developing countries. It revisits the classic debate on the effect of external influences on industrialization in developing countries in the wake of recent changes in the global economy. It also aims to build a general model of industrialization in developing countries. This study uses a comprehensive dataset on developing countries, covering 90 developing countries between 1980 and 2003. The results show that manufacturing employment in developing countries follows a reverse U-shaped trend. In the models, this is best predicted by the level of economic development, measured by GDP per capita and GDP per capita squared. Also, the size of total exports and the share of low-technology exports in all exports show a positive effect on manufacturing employment; while direct investment flows out of developing countries have a negative effect. Thus, economic globalization also affects manufacturing employment in developing countries. Finally, the results provide limited support for the dependency and world systems schools. The share of raw material exports in all exports and foreign direct investment inflows show some negative effect on manufacturing employment.
