| Sumario: | Population growth had played a vital role in rapid economic growth of the Asian Newly Industrialised Economies (NIEs) in the 1980s through to the 1990s, and they can be examples for the Southern Mediterranean (SM) countries, where population growth rates are still high, to follow. But the problems that the SM countries are facing now is myriad: low labour participation rate, high unemployment that leads to emigration and brain drain, thus making population growth unmanageble. SM countries will learn that population growth can also be a complementary development tool if they open up trade and by taking advantage of the growing population to create a domestic market and economy of scale production, for improving technology and knowledge to increase efficiency to make exports more competitive so to attract more trade to create more jobs. |
