Abstract:
Experiment of advanced and developing countries have established that manufacturing constitutes the main base for economic and social development and on which there might be built a primary foundation necessary for developing economic and social structure and speeding up growth rates. The Republic of Yemen is one of the developing countries, but it is considered one of the least developing countries as classified by United Nations; in that she has been suffering from a great number of social and economic problems, in addition to the lag of economic growth rates. Therefore, industry is hopefully expected to have a leading role in solving so many of those problems and obstacles, especially after the country had been unified on may 22, 1990, as well as the unification of the potentials of the country and their orientation toward achieving social and economic development, raising living standards of people, and increasing the income. This study aims at investigating and analysing the situation of manufacturing industry in Yemen and the indicators of its development for the period 1990 - 2000, as well as the obstacles which preclude its development. Our study tries also to investigate the factors and ingredients of manufacturing industry development in Yemen and the horizons of developing it in the future. That's due to the fact that industry is regarded as the pioneer sector in achieving speedy social and economic development which solves the numerous social and economic problems and obstacles prevailing under domestic, regional and international variables, and that after the emergence of the new international system, namely, globalization. This study consists of an introduction and four chapters in addition to the conclusions and recommendations. So, Chapter one is an introductory preface about the Republic of Yemen, her social and economic features, and the economy of Yemen. Chapter two deals with the situation of manufacturing industry in Yemen, through investigating the importance of industry in the economy of Yemen, the ingredients and obstacles of industry, the structure of manufacturing industry in Yemen, and the most important existing manufacturing industries. Chapter three deals with the study of some parameters of the development of manufacturing industry for the period 1990 - 2000. Chapter four deals with the future horizons for developing manufacturing industry in Yemen.The study has reached too many conclusions including that manufacturing industry in Yemen suffers from numerous obstacles, leading to the lag of its development and growth, and to the decrease of its contribution to gross domestic product.Food, construction, and refined oil derivative industries denominate the manufacturing industrial activity in Yemen because the failure of manufacturing strategy followed, namely, the import replacement and the negative influence of international variables on the national industries and its inability to compete with the foreign goods. Finally, there are encouraging ingredients and factors if utilised properly; they will result in the development of manufacturing industry in Yemen in the future, and the overcoming onobstacles which preclude the development of industry in Yemen.
