Jobs are an important part of Cambodia’s
story of development success. There are eight million jobs
in Cambodia, and eighty percent of Cambodian adults above
the age of fifteen are working in contrast to 62.5 percent
of adults in East Asia Pacific region. Cambodia will need to
enact substantive reforms to secure more, better, and more
inclusive jobs in the long term. Fundamentally, Cambodia
needs to upgrade and integrate the two sides of its economy
namely the exports sector, which includes foreign- owned
(FDI) firms, and the domestic sector made up of household
enterprises (HHEs) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Meanwhile, Cambodian workers need to increase their skills
and ability to pursue the job opportunities that will
materialize as these sectors increase their competitiveness. |
