Singapore likely to see the strongest labor force growth in Asia over the next decade

Along with Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

According to BNP Paribas, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore – in that order - will likely see the strongest labor force growth in Asia over the next decade.

Here's more from BNP Paribas:

Thailand is emerging as the old man in ASEAN. Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and China will see their working age population shrink in the coming decade.

Still, Philippines, Indonesia and India have struggled to attract FDI despite their resource advantage. Outcome has been a larger diaspora rather than FDI.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
