Abstract
Macro manpower planning has acquired a new meaning in countries with traditional societies that aspire to attain economic growth through industrialization. Their search for suitable models for public policy, manpower development and organization design is influenced by the record of industrialization in the West, which attributes its success to the development of market oriented institutions and appropriate patterns of responsive market behavior. The extent to which the development of a market orientation is necessary for successful industrialization is evaluated in this paper by analyzing micro level labor market behavior of workers in India and Japan. Our findings suggest some implications for institutional considerations in macro manpower planning for the Less Developed Countries.
