Long term impact on jobs and policy on industry
A government commission report projects a decade of mixed employment in the industry, with about 5000 jobs eliminated as line economic sections wind down and about 13000 new jobs created by growth in remaining sectors. It urges decentralisation and tariff protection adjustments, arguing current subsidies have shaped an unsatisfactory structure. The panel favors raising tariffs temporarily to 35 percent for vehicles and components, then stepping down to 25 percent by 1980, to aid adjustment while industry restructures. The report notes substantial taxpayer cost from tariff concessions and warns the industry cannot survive without higher protection.
