The Limited Role of Rural Small-scale Manufacturing for Late-comers: Some Hypotheses on the Colombian Experience
Year: 1987
Type: article
Abstract: This paper focuses on the question of whether and how rural industry contributed to the advance of modern industrialization in Colombia. The question is of considerable interest to students of developing countries, since rural industry remains quite important (especially when assessed by the level of employment created) in many such countries, and there is evidence that it may be relatively efficient under the prevailing conditions of labour abundance and capital shortage.
