Jointly organized by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Regional Economic Programme Asia (SOPAS) and the Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation, the Future of Work for the Asian Youth Webinar Series aims to highlight the key issues behind the changing employment landscape of Asia’s young people. The Series will focus on four Asian countries—Taiwan (August 2020), Indonesia (November 2020), Malaysia (February 2021), and Vietnam (March 2021)—inviting subject-matter experts from government, academia, think tanks, and civil society organizations to discuss how current trends are radically shifting the nature of employment and quality of life for young people in the region.
