Abstract

This study investigates the trends in GDP growth, employment growth and corresponding employment elasticity in South Asian countries during the last two decades. It also investigated the determinants of employment. The study uses the data from the International Labor Organization (ILO) and World Development Indicators of World Bank. The ‘point elasticity’ method has been applied to estimate employment elasticity trends, while a simple panel regression is utilized to assess the determinants of employment. The results indicate that the GDP growth is not employment elastic in most South Asian countries. The study also shows that South Asian economies are not following the path of structural transformation experienced by many developed countries.
