Manufacturing's Role in Global Economics: A Cambridge Professor's Take

Some people think making things in factories is becoming less important, but a Cambridge professor says it's still really big in countries like China and Vietnam, which are growing fast.

In Vietnam, lots of people work in factories, and the same is true for China.

An economist says the number of manufacturing workers in China might be lower than reported.

India is trying to boost manufacturing too, but an ex-official says they should also focus on creating jobs in other areas like services and skilled jobs.

The focus should be broader.
