A cluster-based approach to development has received considerable attention, first among developed countries, and then among developing countries since the mid-1990s. While the importance of skills is mentioned in many studies of clusters, there are few studies that focus specifically on skills. The current paper provides a basic conceptual framework for understanding the role of skills in cluster development. The framework was developed by analyzing the skills aspect of a limited number of well-researched cluster case studies (i.e. knitwear in India, surgical instruments in Pakistan, shoes in Brazil and Fishing in Kenya and garment in South Africa). This is the Employment Working Paper No. 8.
