PoliticsHere's What It Will Take For African Countries To Emulate The 'asian Miracle' by SIRTee15(op): 7:05pm On Jul 13, 2016
One of the most hotly debated topics in development economics is: what does it take to steer a poor country from Third World to First World status?

It is a debate of particular relevance in Africa, which is home to a large number of countries in the Third World category.

It also has some of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

In recent years, economists have used the terms “developed countries” to denote First World and “emerging markets” to refer to Third World countries.

We believe that the use of these terms camouflages the extent of underdevelopment and challenges faced by the poorest. The terms are also viewed as a means of excusing First World responsibility to provide material support and solidarity.





Third World countries are characterised by a big agrarian sector and a huge proportion of the population living in rural areas. They are also marked by low productivity, disease, high infant mortality, lack of potable water and poor infrastructure.

First World countries are highly urbanised, and citizens enjoy universal access to health, education and housing. They also exhibit high productivity, strong service sectors and freedom of movement because of infrastructure.

Within decades, many Asian countries made the transition from Third World status to First World status.

Some countries in Africa are well placed to make this transition. These include Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire Gabon, Mozambique, Angola and South Africa.

We believe that these countries can emulate the “Asian miracle”, but only if governments take decisive steps to achieve certain outcomes. East Asia has a remarkable record of high and sustained economic growth. From 1965 to 1990 the 23 economies of East Asia grew faster than those of all other regions of the world. Most of this achievement is attributable to seemingly miraculous growth in the eight economies studied.

First, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita or the average household income must be improved. It is impossible to sustain important aspects of human development without this.

Second, state intervention and robust national leadership are crucial. The economic strategies of successful countries were influenced by leaders who were committed to rapid development. They had a focus on growing human capital. This in turn led to increased productivity, increased household incomes and an improvement in the general standard of living.

The Asian example

Lee Kwan Yew, the first premier of Singapore and largely considered the founding father of that nation, is arguably the one Asian leader who popularised the idea of moving from Third World to First World in one generation.

Time frames matter when attempting to understand how long it takes to make the transition. Examining the economic trajectory of some countries between 1960 and 2016 suggests that it can take about 25 years to turn a nation from Third World to First World.

Japan was the outright leader, but in time other Asian nations started leading in certain industries. Examples include Taiwan and South Korea. They had no mineral wealth. What they had, instead, were national systems of innovation and, critically, they invested in human capital. They copied technologies from First World economies until they were on par and even overtook the First World countries. In many cases they started off equal or lower in GDP per capita when compared with a number of African countries.

For example, in 1957 Ghana and South Korea had about the same per capita GDP. South Korea had a national leadership focused on the development of state institutions that were focused on rapid, technology-intensive economic development. Ghana has no programmes of similar nature on record.

Taiwan’s economy underperformed under Japanese colonial rule between 1895 and 1945. In the 1950s the country was an agrarian economy with the same living standard as Congo. But by 2010 it had overtaken its former colonial master to become the number one producer of semi-conductors in the world.

The point is that a colonial past is no excuse for Africa’s failure so far to catch up, emulate and leapfrog.

Income growth

Success stories of the kind envisioned here have been controversially called miracles. Yet there is no magic.

Studies have shown that nations that made serious economic progress focused on growing the average income of their citizens. For example, Japan focused on this between 1950 and 1972 and doubled its GDP per capita.

Nineteen out of 23 of the poorest nations in the world are in Africa. Of the 54 African countries, about 19 are represented on the world’s poorest list.

Yet no African leader has pursued with single-minded determination the improvement of household incomes. Instead their focus has generally been on economic growth with trickle down being viewed as a panacea for higher GDP per capita.

Even in South Africa there is no set period for the poor in the black majority (90% of the population) to move into the middle class proper, with access to tertiary education, white goods and shelter, and annual household expenditure close to US$36,500.

Household incomes improve when the largest number of people get involved in technology-based productivity work. Even agriculture needs to be high-tech and include agro-processing. This is a path currently being followed by Ethiopia.

The role of the state

In Asia and Europe state intervention was seen as a key strategic tool to stimulate and guide development without impeding the private sector. States crowded in private capital in support of investment in infrastructure and human capital formation.

This represented an approach that can be described as state pragmatism rather than simply leaving matters to the markets, as neoliberals argue, or by imposing state control, as ideologues on the left have argued.

The Asian Tigers have been criticised for the lack of democracy, favouritism in allocation of resources, cronyism and protectionism. But there is unanimity that they have succeeded in taking the masses of their populations out of poverty, unemployment and inequality.

Another key area of focus among the Asian Tigers has been investment in their youth. But the youth need education to be academically and technically ready to explore the boundaries of knowledge and technology for their own benefit and that of their countries. Africa should exploit the youth dividend, its most important natural resource.

The Asian Tigers also all have a national innovation system that links government, well-funded research and development institutions such as the universities and industry. Taiwan boasts 21 research institutes, some covering the most advanced technologies like nano-technologies. Again, African nations do not have such institutions.

There are signs that some of these lessons have been taken to heart. Rwanda, for example, is doing very well by investing in information, technology and communication, and in its own people.

Ethiopia has invested in agrarian reform to subsidise industries through economic processing zones.

These efforts arguably will bear fruit in the transition to First World status.

Very few nations prosper without well-organised and strategically focused hard work and sacrifice. Africans need to learn to direct effort and resources with a long-term goal. Leadership is key.

BusinessRe: Naira Crashes To 288/dollar At New Official Market by SIRTee15: 10:03am On Jun 21, 2016
catchdwind4rmkd:
This is ridiculous. What an Irony for a government that promised to make $1 = N1.
Initially I thought this new flexible market rate was only for banks, and doesn't affect the official CBN rate. Surprisingly, it does, as the dollar is now officially N280 and fluctuating, so could still rise for sometime as the market reacts before any decline is expected.

Now I'm forced to use the word "ZOMBIES" for the first time here: And the Zombies said this is not DEVALUATION of the Naira? When there is now officially no means one could get the dollar at N197?!!! PTA/BTA, Education, investments, medicals, etc will now all obtain the dollar at this new rate (N280/$ fluctuating) even if you apply from the APEX bank (CBN).

Well, we've not seen hardship yet. Most businesses were still being run at official CBN rates of N197 having met the criteria to obtain such. The Dangote refinery, and other good investments were to benefit from such. But with this new policy, everyone gets it at the prevailing market rate. Flight tickets (in Naira) have almost doubled, prospective students to international schools will now have to budget almost twice their previous expectations for flights, fees and allowances. I had really thought this policy was meant to control the parallel market while the CBN remains unaffected, since zombies have been claiming it wasn't devaluation. Let's see how this affects prices of goods and services in the country. This is really sad.

Pls ZOMBIES, stop deceiving yourselves in trying to defend or explain every rubbish that comes out of this APC led administration. At least be neutral in some matters and see how it affects everyone.
less than 1% of prospective buyers got dollar at #197 when it was that rate.
even the almighty fuel importers couldn't get at that rate.
there's already inflation, everything u buy is at the black market rate.
plane ticket is at black market rate and only buhari's daughter pays her school fees at the rate of #197 to a dollar.
thus, there's no need keeping it at that unrealistic rate.
in fact, whosoever buy dollar at #197 is defrauding the nation because he's buying a heavily subsidised dollar.

Lukunmi languge is not a spoken language,it's ey just chant the language ceremoniously, and it a mix language that include other african languages with more of yoruba. How many of them come here every year, is it when one or two came you will say they are tracing there roots.
I hope you know the definition of culture and it's dynamism.
So u expect people that left their ancestral homeland more than 300 years ago and transported to an entirely different culture- with all links to the former severed- to retain the original language without the influence of their adopted language.
Lucumi is a corrupt dialect of the Yoruba language with strong infusion of Spanish language and tone.
I'm not aware of any other African language mix......u may show me if there's proof.

It may be a liturgical language, but it's by no means a mere ceremonial chant......its

2 increase inflows and reduce outflows.
3 Protect your market.
4 Build, make and invent all you can yourself. Learn from the mistakes to improve your product. Steal or borrow technology if you have to.

The modern Nigerian music industry started by copying.Then it evolved into conquering the local markets and Africa. It is now conquering( not dominating) the global market.
