Summary

What will Asia look like ten years from now? Find out by taking a look through the eyes of Asia's next generation of business leaders Following the economic boom of Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan-the four Asian Tigers-attention has shifted to success stories in other Asian economies. However, a number of challenges have also emerged that could threaten the region's development over the next decade. This book offers a unique glimpse into the younger generation's view of Asia's future. It draws on the perspective of hundreds of visionary young Asians, who have identified the key issues and who see innovative solutions for areas as diverse as society and demographics, energy and the environment, business and labor markets, education, and healthcare. This fascinating insight comes from a collection of think-pieces from a broad range of young Asians aged under 32-the result of a competition organized by TIME Magazine, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, and the Asia Business Council. Provides a unique viewpoint in contrast to the usual perspective of businesses, governments, economists, and journalists The essay prize question was: What is the biggest challenge facing Asia over the next ten years? Why? What should be done about it? The next generation has a high stake in ensuring Asia's long-term growth. Gain a unique perspective on how the next generation of power-holders see the future.
