Note
The labour shortage has both economic and demographic roots in these economies, except in Malaysia where it is mainly of economic origin. Policy responses are categorized into raising productivity, extending employment, enlisting the inactive and unemployed, importing workers, offshoring and outsourcing, and improving fertility. The five countries undertook different mixes of policy responses to labour shortage with varying degrees of effectiveness.
