ASEAN economic integration will change the pace
of structural change, with important implications for
the region’s 300 million workers and their families.
As patterns of comparative advantage and production
alter, so workers will move from one economic
sector to another. Using an innovative computable
general equilibrium model, this chapter assesses
the potential impacts on economies and labour
markets. It also uses an occupational employment
projections model to identify occupations that are
likely to grow as ASEAN integration progresses.
