- Abstract
This research project, which was originally mounted in five countries--Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam--is concerned with four key questions. They are: (1) What are the social and economic forces that contribute to the rapid expansion of universities in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore? (2) What are the monetary and nonmonetary costs and benefits of this expansion? (3) Is this expansion warranted by or necessary for economic growth? (4) If the expansion is unwarranted, what steps can government and universities take to reduce the pressures for expansion, while still supplying vital skills needed for development? (Author/LBH)
