Synopsis

In developing countries, to achieve poverty alleviation, it is important to create employment opportunities in the manufacturing sector. Particularly important is the development of industrial clusters because industrial clusters not only create substantial survival-type employment opportunities in the manufacturing sector but also seed-beds further industrial development by creating economies of agglomeration.
