Global Competitiveness and Industrial Growth in Taiwan and the Philippines

The provision of public resources to manage the expansion of the higher education system in the Philippines has been inadequate, and this has given rise to many private providers entering the HE domain. The proper regulation of higher education in the country is important if the Philippines is to respond to the challenge of producing the skills it needs for economic development. A Commission on Higher Education document of 2012 reiterated the mandate given to all higher education institutions in the Philippines to build a quality nation and to contribute to its global competitiveness. This mandate includes the need for the higher education system to produce graduates with analytical and problem-solving skills, among others. Perhaps the best one can hope for is that policies of this kind can provide an overarching framework and a general context for the development and strengthening of higher education institutions in order to make them relevant to the needs of the society in which they are situated.

The World

In the Philippines, as in many parts of the world today, spectacular increases in human population are outstripping economic growth at an alarming rate. This phenomenon seems particularly marked in the agricultural and rural sectors, especially when agricultural productivity is contrasted with industrial growth in the region. In 1521, the year of Magellan's arrival, the Philippine population is estimated to have been about 500,000. By 1903, less than four hundred years later, the population was about 8,000,000, or a sixteenfold increase. The next thirty-six years doubled the population to 16,000,000 by 1939. By 1968, the population had soared to about 35,000,000, and at present net birth rates will double again in about twenty years. An important consequence of such rapid population growth without compensating economic gains is increasing unemployment and underemployment; another is the growing possibility of drastic shortages of food.

Macroeconomic Stability

The World Economic Forum in The Global Competitiveness Report 2016-2018, places Indonesia's competitiveness in the 41st rank of 138 countries with a Global Competitiveness index score of 4.52 on a scale of 1-7. Many factors determine the downgrade of Indonesia's competitiveness, including the low security and macroeconomic stability. The fundamental problems in economic development in Indonesia are the low level of welfare, unsustainable economic growth, and the inadequate development process of economic sectors.The research aims to find empirical evidence in the framework of developing economic theory of development regarding the influence of macroeconomic stability structures, security stability and strategic industrial growth and its impact on economic growth. This study uses an explanatory method which aims to explain the causal relationship and test the hypothesis (hypothesis testing study). Secondary data in this study is the semester time series data for the period 2000-2018. The research model is formulated as a recursive linear model in the form of a Cobb-Douglas production function and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the Ordinary Least Square method. The results show that security stability, strategic industrial growth, and macroeconomic stability simultaneously influence economic growth.Keywords: macroeconomic stability, security stability, strategic industrial growth and economic growth.
