Books in the South Asia Development Forum series

Very few studies focus on the growth of labour market opportunities that follow from exports. Entangled is one of the first to systematically examine the localised effects of long-run export growth in South Asia, and evaluates predictions around adjustment costs, worker demand, and wage effects using data from Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka.

The report is a companion piece to WDR 2018, and examines the record of South Asian countries in the area of early childhood education, schooling, teaching, skills and higher education.

Documents systematically the gaps between current and potential trade in South Asia and addresses important specific barriers that have held trade back.
