Description

The relationship between English language and economic development is explored in the South Asian context to determine whether it is worth the investment in developing education of English language skills.  The study suggests that quality education in English has a positive impact on economic development, increasing opportunity and social inclusion due to the strong demand of English across society and labour market.
