Figure 10 shows that the greater a country’s Gross Domestic Product per

capita, the greater its secondary

Percentage of Technical/Vocational Enrolment.

For instance, the three countries with the highest PTVEs

-Australia, Belgium and the United Kingdom - also have very

high GDP per capita; meanwhile, Malawi, Nigeand Nigeria have low

values for both GDP per capita and PTVEs.

Some neighbouring and/or relatively homogeneous countries tend to

cluster, e.g. all five Nordic countries have

high income levels and PTVE between 20% and 35%;

Japan and the Republic of Korea have similarly high income and PTVE

around 15%; and Armenia and Azerbaijan have lower income and very

low PTVE.

There are exceptions, however. The United States and Ireland do not

have secondary vocational education

despite their high GDP per capita. In contrast, Suriname and Panama are

middle-income countries with very

high PTVE.

I.T. and World Development

The

Human Development Index

(

HDI

) is an index combining

normalized measures of

life expectancy

,

literacy

,

educational

attainment

, and

GDP per capita

for countries worldwide. It is

claimed as a standard means of measuring

human development

— a concept that, according to the

United Nations Development

Program

(UNDP), refers to the process of widening the options of

persons, giving them greater opportunities for education, health

care, income, employment, etc. The basic use of HDI is to rank

countries by level of "human development", which usually also

implies to determine whether a country is a

developed

,

developing, or underdeveloped country

.

The Digital Divide is real and growing in many cases

The ability to move into the Digital Age will effect

each country’s future growth opportunities and impact

greatly it’s industries and citizens.

Many countries are not well placed at this time and

need a Digital Rescue package in order to catch up

and compete.

An effective national IT policy must be multi-sectored

and target changes and give incentives

The Knowledge Economy and Economic Performance

Economic development and knowledge are closely related (figure 4).

In fact, the correlation between the accumulation of knowledge, as

measured by the KEI, and levels of economic development

is around 87 percent.Countries with higher KEI values tend to have

higher levels of economic development,and vice versa.

This positive correlation does not establish a causal relationship

between the KEI and economic development.

In fact, it is very plausible that high-income countries, because they are
