As structural economic transformation also modifies the social structure\, changing policy needs and priorities should be supported by an enabling p olicy environment to address the social and political aspects of inclusive economic transformation.\n\nProductive diversification\, technological up grade and structural change are keys to generate sustained growth paths\, in particular because they contribute to the expansion of domestic demand and lead to increased employment.\n\nIn this process\, developing and tran sition economies will have to find a proper balance between domestic\, reg ional and international markets that may provide space for industrializati on\, given the present constraints on global demand and policy environment .\n\nThe objectives of these sessions of the expert meeting will be pursue d through presentations by experts\, an exchange of experiences and lesson s learned\, and interactive debate.\n\nThe issues they will address will i nclude the following:\n\n\n\nPolicies needed to help improve economic oppo rtunities for all\, particularly women and youth.\n\n\nAn overview of glob al\, regional and national economic situations and likely prospects\, and implications for major market opportunities.\n\n\nMeasures used or measure s that may potentially be used to promote sustainable structural transform ation and diversification in developing countries\, in particular the leas t developed countries.\n\n\nThe role of national policies in promoting eco nomic catch-up and enhancing the benefits of productive investment - inclu ding employment generation and skills upgrading\, infrastructural developm ent\, a shift to higher value-added activities\, innovation clusters and t echnological development.\n\n\n\nThe fourth session\, as stipulated in the terms of reference approved by the delegates\, will provide a short summa ry of the previous three sessions.\n<\;p>\;Sectoral transformation\, d iversification and capital accumulation that breed social inclusiveness ar e among the key drivers of development.<\;/p>\;\n\n<\;p>\;The tren ds in sectoral composition of value added and employment\, and the progres s and setbacks indicate that such processes do not result spontaneously fr om market forces alone\, but require the action of social and economic act ors\, including developmental States.<\;/p>\;\n\n<\;p>\;<\;stron g>\;The objective of the multi-year expert meeting<\;/strong>\; is t o exchange views\, experiences and lessons learned regarding policies and measures at all levels for devising approaches to combine and manage the p rocess of structural transformation\, economic diversification and social inclusion\, especially under the constraints set by the current global eco nomic environment.<\;/p>\;\n\n<\;p>\;Within this context\, industr ial policy emerges as a relevant element in multilateral approaches to fos ter potential linkages for structural change\, coordinate the process of c apital accumulation and achieve a balance between productivity and employm ent.<\;/p>\;\n\n<\;p>\;Historical evidence indicates differentiate d paths not only in terms of value-added processes and structural transfor mation\, but also in terms of the employment patterns that emerge for wome n and youth.
