Report of discussion group of study seminar participants to the policy conference: the choice of technology

Abstract

The group considered the choice of appropriate technology so important and crucial to the question of employment creation that it decided on it for detail examination. In examining the subject the group addressed itself primarily to answering some questions arising from the choice of appropriate technology: the sort of balance that should be struck between the selection of appropriate technology and available technology; the importance of development of high level manpower to the choice of technology; whether there should be a time-dimension in technology development.
