I call this “Development Economics 2.5.” But, judging from experience in North Africa, where education improved greatly under the old regimes, but failed to boost growth performance and create job opportunities for educated youth, the validity of such an approach as a fundamental model for development policy is dubious.
我称其为“发展经济学2.5”. 在北非的旧体制下，人们的教育程度大幅提高，但是却没能促进经济发展，也没能给受过教育的青年创造就业机会。从北非的经历来看，这种发展政策的有效性值得怀疑。
