A Vibrant Economy
Despite being a Low Income
Country
 Cambodia has grown at an
annual average growth rate
of 7.7% for two decades.
 Sixth fastest growing country
in the world over that period.
 Poverty reduction continues
to fall to 18.6% in 2012
compared to 50% in 1992.
 GDP PC is USD > 1,000 as
compared to approximately
USD 200 in 1992.
A Vibrant Economy
Despite being a Low Income
Country
 65.3% of the population under the
age of 30.
 Youth (15 to 30 years old) makes
up 33% of the population.
 Presence of a significant young
labour force.
 Moving ahead to become a lowermiddle income country in the near
future.
 Significant impact on the economy
including on the education sector.
Potentiality and Tragedy!
 An estimated
300,000 young
Cambodians
enter labour
market every
year.
Tragedy!
 Often they do
not have the
required skills to
meet the needs
of the labour
market.
Can Cambodia take Advantage of the
Demographic Bonus Period?
• One-time
opportunity for
development.
• Depends on the
quality of the
young
people
who will join the
labour force in
future.
Equipping young people with
quality education and skills is
crucial to ensure that
Cambodia moves towards
improved equality and
wealth for its citizens
