THE ASIAN CENTURY EP 3 BANGALORE
Having risen from the ashes of one of the poorest economies, India now is walking the road to becoming a superpower. Come the turn of the century, many of the Indian Diaspora are flooding the shores of India, reversing the brain drain that was once plaguing India. The reverberations of India’s IT boom called upon tens of thousands of Non-Resident Indians, luring these skilled professionals back to their native soil. Within the last 3 years, 25,000 Non-Resident Indians have returned, replanting their roots back in India, making up an estimated 70,000 Returned Non-Resident Indians in Bangalore alone. Some return with hopes of immersing their children in Indian culture, some for the many job opportunities and challenges. And some are armed with a vision to change the face of India. However, alongside the sea of job opportunities are infrastructural setbacks. Having underinvested in infrastructure for years, India now sorely lags behind. Will these Returning Non-Resident Indians be welcomed by those who chose to tough it out in India during the hard times? Are they merely opportunists or are they heroes armed with a vision? Could India’s returning sons and daughters be the key to unleashing its new dawn?
THE ASIAN CENTURY EP 4 KOREA
South Korea boasts a population with one of the most highly educated youth in the world. However, with one in ten youth being unemployed, the nation’s youth unemployment rate has also hit its peak in a decade. The significance of education in Korean society has its beginnings in the Joseon dynasty when state examinations were the gates to officialdom. However, now the abundance of degree holders in the market has diluted its worth. What was once considered a golden ticket to success, has now condescended into a must-have minimum qualification. Only a mere 30,000 suitable job openings are available as compared to the 560, 000 students who graduate every year. Consequently, more emphasis is placed on entering one of the top three universities in Korea, to be differentiated from the sea of degree holders. So much so that it has become an obsession. With young graduates having difficulties in finding a full time job, it is no wonder the part time job market is rapidly expanding. It has become almost impossible to distinguish a part-time worker from an undergraduate or postgraduate. But in spite of growing unemployment among young graduates, families still chase the degree, despite some amounting to heavy debt. Among the rest of the world, Korean households spend the most on private education. Will the dreams of the young and educated continue to be shattered? Will over education be the ruin of Korea’s economy?

THE ASIAN CENTURY EP 5 JAPAN
Research shows that two out of five women say they wish to marry a man who earns at least 6 million yen a year — but such men make up only 3. 5 per cent of the eligible population. The result of such unrealistic female expectations is a generation who may never marry and have children, which would be disastrous for a country with an already shrinking population. "Thirty percent", according to Professor Yamada, "have never had a girlfriend in their lives. I worry that herbivorous boys are the future of Japan. ". Prof Yamada continues, "As young Japanese men become more timid and more averse to taking risks, it will affect the energy and vitality of the society. " Economist Nobuo Iizuka notes that this development is especially acute for a country that is about to lose its title as the world’s second largest economy to China sometime this year (2010). Now, he says, is not the time to relax the pace, especially as a new Liberal Democrat government takes on an increasingly more assertive attitude towards America, while it reassesses its role in Asia vis-á-vis China. "Japan is neighbors with a rapidly growing market. " said Nobuo Iizuka. "That is a great advantage, not a threat. The question is, can Japan build on that advantage?".
