Özet: Share of manufacturing in GDP is widely used as the main indicator to measure the degree of deindustrialization. The paper proposes per capita manufacturing value added as an alternative indicator. These two indicators are employed to scrutinize the deindustrialization in the selected sample countries from different regions and different industrialization levels. Results show that assessments regarding the existence of industrialization may differ depending on the indicator used. Even if the share of the manufacturing sector decreases, the value added per capita may increase, which may lead to a misleading assessment that there is a deindustrialization.
