Making Cambodia’s Higher Education Responsive to the Labor Market in the Digital Transformation Era.

Cambodia has been one of the few post-conflict countries that have successfully brought peace after a prolonged civil war for decades. Since the 1990s, Cambodia has opened up to the world and is attracting international assistance and foreign direct investment for national construction and rehabilitation. The general election was organized between 23 and 28 May 1994 with support from the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC). 1991 Cambodia was categorized as one of the least developed countries or LDC. The country has made good progress due to effective macroeconomic management, political stability, and a liberal trade and investment regime that has enhanced high economic growth and poverty reduction (MoP, 2010). Cambodia aspires to become an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income nation by 2050. According to the United Nations Development Programme (2024), the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) has endorsed Cambodia to graduate from the LDC in 2029 with a five-year preparatory period.
