Planning for vocational education, training and employment: a minimalist approach

Abstract

This paper addresses the scope and content of planning for vocational education, training and employment in developing countries. Its premiss is that, since planning uses scarce resources, it should be engaged in as little as is necessary to maximize efficiency and economic growth. Although the premiss of the paper is the need to economize on scarce planning resources, minimalism will not necessarily mean less planning. Rather, planning will need to be better and, above all, more useful.
