Abstract
Using augmented Solow framework within the modern growth paradigm, we explore the contribution from agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors vis-à-vis per worker income in Fiji. Noting the highest contributory power from services sector, we unpack this sector into financial development, information and communications technology and tourism services besides taking into account the phenomenal growth in urbanisation and the economy's reliance on development assistance. We find these contemporary instruments are significantly shaping the growth and development path of Fiji. Subsequently, we put forward policy relevant discussions along sectoral lines, sustainable urban growth and aid management as critical discourse which can be mapped to other developing Pacific Island Countries.
