The export‐based development strategies of the Newly Industrialising Countries (NICs) of East Asia, associated with high labour absorption in manufacturing, low unemployment rates, and rising skill levels, are often suggested as a model for other developing countries. The paper examines labour and employment trends from 1963 to 1988 in Mauritius, a country that explicitly adopted the NIC model in the early seventies. The trends show a number of similarities to NIC labour and employment patterns. The gains made since 1970, ironically, present constraints to sustaining economic development based on labour intensive production. Mauritius faces unique opportunities and challenges as it begins to make the shift to capital intensive manufacturing and service activities, the final step to NIC status
