New 3-min Video: "The 2 Key Skills Passive People Are Most Afraid Of." This is the final video in my "Assertiveness in Asian Business" series, and it covers the biggest challenge in developing assertiveness. Even with great results in training, if these two skills aren't applied in real-world situations, progress quickly vanishes. Many passive individuals from collectivist cultures hope to become assertive without using these two skills—but unfortunately, assertiveness just doesn’t happen without them. The good news? Even small steps toward mastering these skills can lead to tremendous results over time. If you're looking to help your quiet team speak up more in meetings, this video offers practical tips you can start using right away. #Assertiveness #TeamDevelopment #LeadershipSkills #QuietTeams #AsianBusiness #WorkplaceCommunication https://lnkd.in/gFFWJmhf

There are several reasons why cross-border elderly care in GBA mainland cities will become a new market trend and stimulate investment opportunities, based on the information you provided: **Demand:** * **Aging population:** Hong Kong, like many places, has a rapidly aging population. By 2050, a significant portion (40%) will be over 60 years old, creating a high demand for elderly care services. **GBA Advantages:** * **Lower Cost of Living:** Compared to Hong Kong, mainland GBA cities generally offer a lower cost of living, making senior care more affordable. * **Spacious Living:** GBA cities often have more spacious living environments, potentially improving the quality of life for elderly residents. **Policy Support:** * **National 14th Five-Year Plan:** This plan emphasizes expanding elderly care services and building a comprehensive support system in China. This signifies government commitment to the sector. * **Cross-border Elderly Care Policies:** Recent policy changes promoting "going north" for medical treatment and elder care will further encourage this trend. **Investment Opportunities:** * **Increased Demand:** The rising demand for elderly care services creates opportunities for investment in facilities, services, and infrastructure specifically designed for this demographic. * **Government Support:** Government policies promoting elderly care creates a more favorable environment for businesses in this sector. **Overall, the combination of a growing elderly population, GBA's cost and space advantages, and supportive policies creates a perfect storm for a booming cross-border elderly care market in the Greater Bay Area.**

Hong Kong is facing a rapidly aging population. Here's a breakdown of how it's happening: * **Increasing life expectancy:** People in Hong Kong are living longer. This is due to factors like better healthcare and living standards. * **Low birth rate:** Hong Kong has a low birth rate, meaning fewer young people are entering the workforce. * **Post-war baby boomers:** The generation born after World War II is now reaching retirement age, further adding to the elderly population. This trend is expected to continue. By 2046, projections show: * The number of elderly (aged 65+) will nearly double, reaching over 2.7 million. * The proportion of elderly will jump from 20.5% to 36% of the population. This means more than one in three Hong Kong residents will be elderly.

Hong Kong faces a significant challenge with its aging population. Here are some potential solutions that are being considered: * **Increasing the retirement age:** This could help address the shrinking workforce issue, but it's important to balance it with opportunities for younger generations and ensure healthy working conditions for older adults. * **Encouraging immigration:** Attracting skilled workers from abroad can help supplement the workforce. However, housing affordability and integration policies are important aspects to consider. * **Promoting a higher birth rate:** Policies that support families, like childcare subsidies and parental leave, could incentivize having more children. * **Investing in automation and technology:** Embracing technological advancements can improve efficiency and reduce the reliance on manual labor. * **Enhancing eldercare services:** Expanding healthcare and social services for the elderly is crucial to ensure their well-being and independence. * **Promoting healthy aging:** Encouraging healthy lifestyles and preventive healthcare can help seniors stay active and reduce the burden on healthcare systems. * **Redefining retirement:** There's a shift towards viewing retirement as a phase for continued engagement and contribution, with opportunities for part-time work or volunteering. Addressing this challenge will likely require a multi-pronged approach that considers both economic and social factors.

More data on the structural changes impacting labor markets in Japan. As labor liquidity increases, so does the necessity for hiring business capabilities by companies to effectively compete for and secure the talent they need to win. After spending the last week talking with industry leaders in global HRTech, I’m convinced that Japan is in the cusp of dynamic changes over the next several years. Not only are institutional investors plowing into the space through PE deals, but global leading technology and service providers now have their eyes on Japan and broader Asia for growth and I can only feel that this will be a net positive on organizational competitiveness and opportunity for talent at the same time. Feeling very exciting about the years to come and will have more updates from ZooKeep soon about things we are doing to lift the ecosystem in Asia. #growth #peoplematter #opportunity
