Singapore jack sim - the unlikely story of making sanitation a viral good news story
we first met jack sim at the inaugural world social business forum in 2009- his view of the world out of singapore having made enough money he wanted to give back - he decided sanitation was unfashionable with viral humor "see his posters on Royal Flush" he started networking world toilet stories - now nov 19 is un world toilet day and jack has influenced top politicians in brazil, india (the worlds largest toilet project) and china to take nationwide sanitation seriously among others (can anyone update us aiib/world bank billion dollar end city slum project mapped round Indonesia?)
- today sim is also launching BOP bottom of pyramid hub out of singapore -out of london we first started publishing the good hubs guide in 2005 - as far as sdg generation goes, sadly evidence shows 90% of hubs have negative impacts - we're almost certain jack will succeed where others have north

dubai
in term of entrepreneurial wealth acceleration. dubai compares only only with singapore as rsie of former british colonies -
the emirates are literally built on desert coastlines which makes for quite unique lifestyles - history has chnaged the guld region multiple times; eg with completion of suez canal and later nationalisation by egypt; with becoming the world's epicentre of oil production and the geopolitical and cultural stress points including some of the world's sharpest divisons in the roles of men and women -interesting some of the great techsavvy eople in the uae are women - see eg the uae represnetative on gordon brawns education commission 2016
dubai has /is staging 2 of the 4 most exciying educational tarnsformation summits - varkey million dollar teacher to 2019; dubairewitred2021 from 2021 during learning week of explo- see also qatar wise, and hong kong yidan
unlike much of the emirates dubai has little ownership of oil but is a destination for wealthy Arabs and a hi-tech hub as well as tourist epicentre- leading industries of the future is a goal dubai aims to win both for itself and the emirate region (which needs a post-carbon strategy)
Asian Rising model coastal Belt Capital Roadsters - see Economist 75-77
like singapore as well as maximising its posirion on world trade maps, it developed a super airport staraegy (there is also a great filim on founders of modern dubai bench,arking tokyo)
unlike sinagpore which I first while it places like the old raffles hotel were still historuc properties; my hirst vist to duba was in its fyily co,posed state
a new to me twosut - dubai's world trade cenntre is a huge conference centre which is alsed used to choose scientist/subhects dubai aims to inward brain drain
seeing some of teh early daolaogues of how could youth ne icluded in dubai expo was fascinating
I am so glad that dubai loks as if it will achieve a compete 6 motyh expo oct 2021 -march 2022 and pass expo relay on in good shape to japan 2025

Harnessing Technology to Build Human Capital in South Asia
South Asia is among the fastest growing regions globally, with a vast human capital potential. By 2030, it will be home to over a quarter of world’s working adults. Despite the potential, the region faces persistent human capital deficits—one out of every three children is stunted here, and four out 100 do not live beyond the age of five. There are added challenges including of low life expectancy, early deficits in learning, infectious disease burdens, and pervasive structural inequalities.
COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these vulnerabilities and reversed much of the recent gains in human development. For instance, in South Asia an estimated 5.5 million children are predicted to drop out of school due to COVID-related income losses. This is more than half of all global dropouts. With deep disruptions, the pandemic has shifted focus on digitalization and use of converging technologies for delivering health, education, social protection services, and on building future pandemic and climate resilience. Converging technologies refer to a synergy of biosciences, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, powered by big data and high-speed computing.
The ongoing tech-revolution offers tremendous opportunities, but also exposes striking digital inequality. South Asia has the largest number of people without internet access—nearly a billion out of the global total of 3.2 billion. Given the contrasts, technologies can deepen inequalities, exclusion, and loss of livelihoods. Proactive steps need to be taken to ensure that technology adoption is guided by principles of human centricity, inclusion, and trust.
Our 7th #OneSouthAsia Conversation will focus on these potentials and challenges of leveraging technologies to build human capital and help South Asia manage risks and shocks: how can it overcome regional barriers, promote cross-country collaboration to support recovery from COVID and other shocks, and build human capital and adaptable resilience in the region. This conversation builds on our World Bank publication, The Converging Technology Revolution and Human Capital: Potential and Implications for South Asia, which examines how technologies can accelerate human capital development, with a focus on improving service delivery, building adaptability and resilience, and promoting inclusion.

Skills Development Vital to Enabling Transition to Industry 4.0 in Southeast Asia — ADB Study
News Release | 20 January 2021
MANILA, PHILIPPINES (20 January 2021) — Countries in Southeast Asia should consider developing industry transformation maps in key sectors to enable the transition to the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) with adequate investment in skills development for new and repositioned jobs, according to a new study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The finding is one of six key recommendations emerging from ADB’s study Reaping Benefits of Industry 4.0 Through Skills Development in High-Growth Industries in Southeast Asia, covering Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam.
“The future of jobs is at the heart of development in Asia and the Pacific,” said Director General of ADB’s Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department Woochong Um. “While jobs have been lost to automation in recent years, new jobs will emerge as new and disruptive technologies are adopted. Now is the time to invest in skills development that will help displaced workers acquire the abilities necessary to move into new jobs and help job-seekers access quality jobs for greater prosperity.”
The study assesses two industries in each country deemed important for growth, employment, and 4IR. Based on employer surveys, the study reports large potential returns to businesses arising from productivity increases from 4IR technologies.
By 2030, there is likely to be a positive net impact in all industries analyzed with more jobs created than displaced. Although a third of agro-processing jobs in Viet Nam may be displaced, for example, substantial net job creation of 34% is possible. There could also be net increases of 39% for garments in Cambodia, 14% for food and beverage manufacturing in Indonesia, and 11% for IT-business process outsourcing (BPO) in the Philippines.
“The findings of the study point towards a clear path for the future in Southeast Asia,” said ADB Director General for Southeast Asia Ramesh Subramaniam. “While the region may face challenges in moving the displaced workers into new jobs due to inadequate skills, we are confident that countries will design appropriate policies and invest in workforce skills particularly to accelerate the post-pandemic recovery. We must do everything possible to ensure that no one is left behind.”
Employers in all industries surveyed stressed the importance of skills in the context of disruptive technologies. Together, they could need an additional 169 million people trained by 2030 to prepare for the transition to 4IR.
The study recommends strengthening on-the-job training and skills development for the jobs of tomorrow. It calls for developing industry-led technical and vocational education and training programs with dedicated credentials for 4IR, and flexible and modular skills certification programs that recognize skills attainment outside of traditional education channels.
The study revealed mismatches between training institutions and employers on the perceived readiness of graduates for the workplace. While 96% of training institutions surveyed in Indonesia believed their graduates were well-prepared for work, only 33% of food and beverage manufacturing employers agreed. In Cambodia, almost 90% of surveyed employers reported that graduates were inadequately prepared for entry-level jobs.
The study recommends upgrading training delivery through the application of 4IR curriculum and technology in classrooms and training facilities in close collaboration between industry and training providers to strengthen workforce readiness. The survey of training institutions revealed limited use of advanced technologies such as virtual and augmented reality and online platforms for training delivery.
The study calls for new approaches to strengthen inclusion and social protection for entry-level workers, those at risk of job displacement, and those who need upskilling. According to IT-BPO employers in the Philippines, manual and administrative jobs which are typically held by women are likely to see the largest losses, while females in Cambodia’s garments industry are more likely to be affected.
To ensure the welfare of workers, the study calls for a strong focus on reskilling and upskilling programs, and incentives schemes for employers to retrain workers. The Career-Up Josei-Kin program in Japan, which subsidizes employers to train individuals not on regular contracts is identified as a good example.
While the coronavirus disease pandemic is accelerating digital transformation, the study finds that companies deploying 4IR technologies are likely to recover faster from the disruptions caused by the pandemic and be more resilient in the future.
ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 68 members—49 from the region.
