At a time when the OECD nations are struggling with recession, job loss, and even some loss of purpose, some of the emerging nations are seeing far higher growth: China at 8 percent per year; India at 6 percent in 2003.

While the economies of many “developed nations” (with the exceptions of Canada and Korea) have been stuck in low gear, many large emerging nations have a compelling combination of strong growth and moderate per-capita incomes: Turkey, Thailand, Russia, and South Africa seem to offer a particularly compelling near-term combination of teledensity and increasing per-capita wealth.

 Challenge: International labor standards and child labor
In 1995 Korea's exports to the industrialized nations constituted 12.3 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP), while its imports from the industrialized nations were 13.9 percent of its GDP.(1) In brief, relative to industrialized nations, Korea ran a trade deficit of 1.6 percent.
What all this means is that, if the exports of these countries are cut off, in all likelihood their imports from industrialized nations will shrink as well, making the net effect on the industrialized nations negative instead of positive, though of course some specific sectors may gain.
But ILS is not a unique set of prescriptions, and the portents are that the kind of ILS policy being debated by the industrialized nations, if adopted, will be detrimental to the poorest nations.
