72% of Girls in India are enrolled in School.... The problem is workforce participation [ if and as measured by usual global metrics ] .. 50% of Indian pop is still in Agriculture and the women working in the fields are not counted as working besides socially women not working as labour is considered a sign of prosperity
Noah is very accurate on India about getting more women in school. And I can’t say how happy he made me as an Indian by his initial words on Pakistan 😂😂. Thank you for this 😂😂
Fun fact on Japan: Japanese employees worked roughly the same amount of labor hours in a year as the US which was 1,765 in 2017. The Koreans worked 2,063. Singapore worked 2,255 hours in the same year (for some reference, there are a total of 2,080 labor hours in a year). If the OECD list is anything to go by, Japan is seeing a decrease in working hours. While the Japanese were certainly overworked in the 1970s, working 2,243 hours a year, the 2022 average shows just 1,607 hours, even below the 1,810 for the US. South Korea has also seen a decrease, going from 2,163 hours in 2010 to 1,908 in 2022.
noah is wrong about girls in India not going to school, girls match or outnumber boys all the way to college level. the problem is workforce participation, that has also jumped to 37 percent but low by global standards
He is not wrong. Drop out rates have only recently come down in rural schools because of better sanitation/sanitary napkins availability and more inclusion in banking through DBT/Mudra, also with the help of SHG/ASHA workers. We still have a long way to go. But we will achieve our goals within this generation 💪
things are improving and will get better. we are the generation that will build the country and redefine it. what we do now, makes every bit difference. gotta lot of work to do brother
Re: Korea, the govt. has policy of child support subsidies which are much more generous in the areas outside of Seoul (not just rural but also mid-sized cities, I suppose the "suburbs"). The support is phased down much too quickly IMHO, but while the children are toddlers, $50/month for wipes, $100/month for diapers, etc., really adds up so the support in total can come to near-$1K/month in a country that on PPP-adjusted basis is well-off but gross prices are still way below US levels. I've visited these mid-sized cities outside of Seoul and you are seeing more foreign brides, who either were set up by cross-border matchmaking services or from younger Korean males who brought back girlfriends they met while studying/working abroad (the latter examples were the ones I personally have seen more of)
My theory with pro-natal policies is that they actually work great. The reason it seems like they don't do anything is that it takes a long time for the norms around child-having to change. 40 years or more. So if you have no supportive policy, the natural norm for fertility rates is very low, say 1.0 or even worse, because objectively child-having in a developed country is very expensive and hard. So what happens is birth rates start declining, and countries do a lot of pro-natal policy when birth rates are at like 1.5 or so, and they see birth rates decline and bottom out at 1.3 and they're like "well that didn't work!!!" But it did! It's just that it really prevented further decay! Or alternately it will take another 40 years for it to improve birth rates again.
My GF is Filipino and I have been a few times, place is definitely growing and has a real energy to it, and they speak English and really understand western culture. I really tgink of them as a smaller version of India alot of western companies hire Filipino developers and other back office and professional workers at 75% lower cost. I know i loved hiring Filipino and indian devs when i had my start-up. Definitely wouldnt count them out but gov and corruption is pretty awful and infrastructure is horrible especially since the population is so spread out on 7000 plus islands, makes it pretty expensive to transport things.
@@bboystretch7788 Not really, Haiti and the Congo are in the pits the Philippines is a lower middle income nation growing among that fastest in the world with all human development indices improving very fast. Geographicly it's a very hard country to develop with it being on like 800 islands all spread out and very hot and not at all flat. Plus you have large areas with Filipino workers that are completely modern like BGC, Makati and Cebu tech park.
@@bboystretch7788 definitely not a colony, people throw out that term all the time when it doesn't meet anything close to the definition. US always invested way more into PH than we made, there is nothing there to extract it's just in a very important area in the Pacific. US was never interested in ruling the people day to day lives we only cared that the Japanese didn't conquer the islands. You can see there is almost all good will between Filipinos and Americans as about 92% say America is a good country and a good ally more than any other country in the world. I don't think that's the case with any former colony like even the US doesn't like the UK that much and don't forget this nation was also a colony once as where all nations at one point or another being colonized or colonizing other.
The poverty in the Philippines is beyond doubt. Where has all the $ spent by the us? After decades it’s still the pits. The reason is simple. The Americans treat the Philippines as pawns and don’t give a rats ass about the people.
great topic and quick breakdowns. I learned a ton, definitely going to share this with friends. Dario Amodei’s episode introduced me to you guys and this podcast. Would love more breakdowns of topics in short bursts that cover a bunch of different countries or companies, and would love deep dives and breakdowns of AI and what will happen to the world when tens of millions of customer service jobs get cut due to claude-3.5+ tools being integrated in place of humans. I think an episode on that would go viral in my AI communities
just a topic of discussion suggestions, industrial growth of usa and how her people and society changed with it. i am guessing we will see many changes in India, that will mirror the changes experienced in usa on her way to be industrialized.
Not really a fan of Noah's takes on Europe. Like yes France says a lot of stuff very loudly but is famous for not delivering, but Macrons words apparently now make him a real leader in his eyes? Also It's completely fair to complain about Germany not helping Ukraine enough, there is a big debate inside german politics about delivering certain weapon systems and other munition, but you should begin by acknowledging that Germany is the second biggest supporter to Ukraine after the US, the largest in Europe by far, far outpacing countries like France, which are very loud but don't deliver nearly the same amount Acknowledging other European countries contributions such as Denmark, the Baltics and the EU planning to fund more and more weapon production should also be mentioned at least
While it may be true that France doesn't back up its rhetoric, the rhetoric itself is important since it emboldens other countries to step forward. Germany is doing better than it did previously, but in relative terms its still sluggish compared to the UK or Eastern Europe, and it needs to... not do that. This war is practically in their back yard.
@@TheStrangeBlokeidk where u get info that the UK is doing more when its not, even when comparing the aid as a percentage of gdp, obv eastern europe is doing more and as I said it should be mentioned, but what I reject is the narrative that bc language is important we all should cheer macron when none of that matters on the battlefield
@@Lucas-ww3yoRhetoric does matter, and the kind of aid matters. Rhetoric is important because it reframes the conflict and improves the ability of Ukraine to resist. Is this the most important thing? No. But it is important. As an american a big annoyance I have is how much we've tried to restrict Ukraine's strategy. In material terms, Germany has stepped up recently but even now the majority of their aid is not military aid and even in terms of total aid they're behind the UK as a percent of GDP. They're the biggest manufacturer in Europe, they're the only country that CAN meet Ukraine's needs for shells and missiles.

@@DB-iv5wp All girl doesn't go to school in High income countries. But that does not mean you will say, all girls in India go to school. They don't. Forget girls, A significant portion of boys don't go to school. And even if they go to school, the quality of Education is very very bad largely.

43:30 why woman has to migrate to cities ? during covid textile manufacturers moved their shops to villages. Cheap land and they employed people from surrounding villages. This allowed women to make more money take care of their kids without moving to cities. Can't you see how overcrowded and polluted cities are ? This guy's advice will lead to more encroachment by slums in cities. India don't need people to move to cities but turn villages into cities. Also the fact that land for textile shops is cheap in villages compared to cities. Lot of people like to copy paste idea from west to other countries. They completely ignore historical, cultural, practical significance. this remind me of wokes trying to teach afghanistani what pronounce is.
