abstract = "As an ASEAN country with strong annual economic growth, Indonesia is improving its global competitive-ness. Indonesia{\textquoteright}s participation in global production networks (GPNs) generates a positive impact on its in-dustries. The labor-intensive Indonesian footwear industry has undergone rapid development. High domestic and foreign demand for the country{\textquoteright}s footwear has led to rapid development and domestic employment gains. This research reviews the implications of GPNs on industrial development and social well-being. It uses the economic and social development of the Indonesian footwear industry as a case study. The paper uses a par-simonious approach to measure economic and social conditions in this industry. Based on the results, the Indonesian footwear industry has experienced “high-road” growth, showing improvements in key economic and social standards.",

note = "Funding Information: Developing countries face key challenges improving the position of firms and workers as they become integrated into GPNs. Indonesia{\textquoteright}s Ministry of Industry (MoI) has prioritized the top six industry sectors, raising them to investment grade. They are: labor-intensive industry (including apparel and footwear); small-and medium-sized industry; capital-goods industry; natural resources-based industry; industry with rapid growth (including automotive, electronics and telematics) and special-priority industry like cement and petrochemicals. These industries were chosen because of their ability to generate employment. All priority industries supported by the Ministry of Industry are included in the National Industrial Development Master Plan. With a population of more than 250 million, Indonesia is a potential market for its own industries (number 7). Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2019, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak.
