520 _aThis study takes as its point of departure the assumption that, if the less developed countries are to earn foreign exchange in amounts commensurate with their needs for growth, they will have to achieve a rapid in- crease in exports of manufactures to the developed countries. By definition, the less developed countries have little accumulated capital or technical skill. Any comparative advantage they may attain in manufacturing for export, apart from strongly resource-based industries, is therefore likely to be in "labor-intensive manufactures"—i.e., those which require large inputs of unskilled labor compared with both human capital (or skills) and physical capital
