【 摘 要 】
Economic zones have grown rapidly in thepast 20 years. In 1986, the International LaborOrganization's (ILO's) database reported 176 zonesin 47 countries; by 2006, it reported 3,500 zones in 130countries. This huge growth occurred despite many zoneshaving failed to meet their objectives; however, many othersare contributing significantly to growth in foreign directinvestment (FDI), exports, and employment, as well asplaying a catalytic role in integration into global tradeand structural transformation, including industrializationand upgrading. This study aims to address some of thesequestions and deliver an analysis that is both data-drivenand policy-focused. The objective of the study is to explorethe experience of zone programs, with a particular focus onSub-Saharan Africa, to understand the factors thatcontribute to static and dynamic outcomes. It aims toprovide input to the question of whether and how zones canmake a significant contribution to job creation,diversification, and sustainable growth in African and otherlow-income countries.
