Hi!
I'm an 18 year old guy who study Social Science at the high school Sundsgymnasiet in southern Sweden. I'm working on a project in which I have chosen to focus on the effect the Asian expansion will have on the future of Europe. In short, I want to figure out how the lightning-fast development in the far-east, regarding business aswell as education, will affect my position on the global labour market in the future. I have been inspired by a Swedish speaker situated in Singapore who got me thinking about these issues. For example, why would a future employer even consider to hire a half-motivated, expensive European worker when there are well-educated, highly motivated labour available at a much lower cost?
Below is an example of Fredrik Härén's (the Swedish speaker I mentioned) lectures. This is just the first part of threee, in which he compares the similarities between the comunnication business 20 years ago and the energy business of today. Check it out, it's quite interesting!

Anyway, my intention with posting this is to start a discussion with participants from different countries, because it is indeed an international issue. Hopefully we'll come up with some intriguing views on this particular subject.
So, what are your thoughts?
