Abstract
This report on Korea is geared towards
policy makers from developing countries that are in the
midst of, or are intending to, embark on the transition
towards the knowledge economy. It provides pragmatic policy
lessons drawn from Korea's forty-five years of
knowledge-based growth. This report not only looks at the
current policies and challenges of today's high income
Korea, but also reviews its historical economic development
since the 1960s when Korea was still a low income country.
It follows Korea through the decades as it undertook an
array of knowledge strategies that propelled it through the
various income levels. This report therefore provides
compelling policy lessons that are relevant for developing
countries at different stages of economic development.
