As megatrends affect the world of work, reshaping skills of workers will help to address mismatches and promote resilience.

Human capital development has played a vital role in the success of thriving economies. However, when the skills of workers fail to align with the needs of industry, the mismatches and imbalances in the labour market can keep an economy from reaching its potential.
Findings from the latest World Bank Enterprise Surveys indicated that between 10% and 15% of employers in the Philippines, Indonesia, Laos and Malaysia, and 18% in Cambodia report having difficulties finding workers with the right skills for their operations. Less than 5% of companies in Thailand say they experience this drawback.

As of January 2021, Ghana registered approximately eight million active social media users, up from six million in 2019.
In 2020, the number of social media users in Nigeria reached around 30 million (about the entire population of Ghana).
Nigeris has a population of over 200 Million and the largest GDP ($445 Billion) in Africa but Twitter choose Ghana with a population of 31 Million and a GDP of $60 Billion (about the combined GDP of Lagos and Rivers States alone) to be its regional headquarters. NOT A BIG DEAL.
Anyone blaming the profit-oriented incorporation is only being emotionally sentimental; sentiments have no place in the boardroom of any serious organization. Recall that in 2019, Michelin and Dunlop moved to Ghana from Nigeria. NOT A BIG DEAL.
