The central themes of this book are- required skill formation, upskilling of the workers, and their interaction with technological change in lieu of a deficient educational system and its implications. An empirical investigation of the causes and consequences of low skill and technology indicators using a primary survey at macro and micro levels is undertaken. This is followed by an examination of the interaction between the low skill and technology indicators, the relationships between skill, upskilling and technology indicators, skills mismatch, the uses and impacts of ICT and differences at firm as well as industry level and knowledge transfer effects. A set of recommendations towards the need for implementation of consistent policies, increasing incentives and collaboration between public and private institutions completes the book. 606 $aEconomic development$zSudan 606 $aResearch$zSudan 606 $aTechnology$zSudan 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aResearch 615 0$aTechnology 676 $a361.3/2 676 $a361.32 700 $aNour$b Samia Mohamed$0866716 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438073003321 996 $aTechnological Change and Skill Development in Sudan$92536711 997 $aUNINA
