    Technology & Jobs: Episode 2: The Age of the Machines

    As many of the wildest ideas about technology become reality, and extend deeper into our lives and workplaces, our anxieties seem to be accelerating together with the technology itself. Asia is at the forefront of adopting these new technologies – with China leading the way. In Episode 2 we look at how widespread the effects of technology in the workplace are, what industries will benefit most, and how excited or concerned workers should be. Host: Erik Churchill Guests: Elisabetta Gentile and Sameer Khatiwada Produced by Richard Miron, Andrew Perrin & Erik Churchill

    Technology & Jobs: Episode 1: The Future of Work

    ADB’s Technology and Jobs podcast is a four-episode series focusing on the impact of technological change on labor markets – from an Asian perspective. We look at how the workplace is being transformed by technology and what that means for the workers of today as well as those who are going to be doing the jobs of the future. In Episode 1 host Erik Churchill and economists Elisabetta Gentile and Sameer Khatiwada discuss the scale of the challenge – the size of the workforce in Asia, what the region produces for the global economy, what its economic rise has meant for Asian countries themselves, and what an automated Asia may look like. Produced by Richard Miron, Andrew Perrin & Erik Churchill

    Technology & Jobs: Episode 4: How to Stay Employed in an Automated Era

    So far in this series we have examined various ways that Asia’s workplace and workforce are being changed by new technology. We asked how we should see the rise of the machines – a threat or an opportunity? We also looked at the way technology could alter the globalized economy and Asia’s place within it. In the final episode of our 4-part series, we look at what lies ahead for the workers of today and what can be done to prepare the workers of tomorrow for the changes that are happening. Host: Erik Churchill Guests: Elisabetta Gentile, Sameer Khatiwada, and Tania Rajadel Produced by Richard Miron, Andrew Perrin & Erik Churchill

    Technology & Jobs: Episode 3: How Automation Affects Globalization

    Globalization is the force behind Asia’s extraordinary economic rise. But the supply chains that have linked Asia to the globalization process could come under strain from new technologies that might, for example, make it easier for industrialized countries in the West to manufacture products closer to home. So will technology affect Asia’s vaunted position in the global supply chain? What kind of a challenge does it pose to specific countries, industries and workers? Join host Erik Churchill and economists Elisabetta Gentile and Sameer Khatiwada, together with special guest Abdul Abiad, as they discuss these issues in Episode 3. Produced by Richard Miron, Andrew Perrin & Erik Churchill
