Across Asia, skilled labor is in high demand, but workforce preparedness varies widely across the region, and each country faces different challenges when it comes to their skilled labor pools. We summarize the key challenges of four countries in the region—China, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines—and provide guidelines for using workforce analytics to address talent concerns in the region. By comparing the expected trends in the urban labor force with trends in educational and technology indicators, we developed a skill momentum index to provide insights on whether a country is moving in the right direction to address its future skill challenges.
