Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

BUT WILL THERE BE JOBS?

As per an estimate prepared by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD ) , the total pool of graduates in the world is expected to expand from 129 million in 2010 to 204 million in 2020 ( graduates between 25 and 34 years of age )

In 2020 , which countries will lead in this expanding army of graduates ?

  •   China  ………………………………..  59.2  Million  (  29  %  )

  •   India  …………………………………  24.5  Million  (  12  %  )

  •   USA   ………………………………..   22.4  Million  (  11  %  )

  •   Russia ……………………………….  14.3  Million   (  7    %  )

  •   UK ……………………………………..  8.2  Million    (   4   %  )

  •   Rest  …………………………………. 75.4  Million   (  37  %  )

  • Gross Enrollment Ratio ( 18-23 years old )……………… 16  %

  • Graduate  % age  of population  (  “           ) ………………  8  %


  • Graduates with B.A Degree ………………………………………….33 %
