TY - JOUR AU - Kiljunen, Kimmo AB - All efforts should be made by the international community to take measures to encourage the industrialization of the developing countries. This is a quotation from the ‘Programme of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order’ accepied by the UN General Assembly in 1974. This demand for industrialization in the less developed countries (LDCs), which would necessitate structural change in the present international division of labour, is one of the basic elements in the declaration of a New International Economic Order. In the famous Lima-target this demand is quantitatively defined, becoming one of those few concrete objectives linked so far with the NIEO proposals. The target is to increase the Third World’s share in world manufacturing production from around 7-8 per cent now to 25 per cent in the year 2000. Although this figure is probably too high to be realistic, it indicates the determination of underdeveloped countries to improve their position in world production and international trade. To facilitate this industrial transformation developed countries are called upon to allow free access of LDC imports and consequently to pursue effective internal industrial restructuring and adjustment policies. These demands and targets represent the normative side of the TI - New International Division of Labour and Adjustment Problems of a Peripheral Industrialized Economy JF - Development and Change DO - 10.1111/j.1467-7660.1980.tb00081.x DA - 1980-10-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/new-international-division-of-labour-and-adjustment-problems-of-a-GHnXQcP2rM SP - 517 VL - 11 IS - 4 DP - DeepDyve ER -
