The first section of this chapter examines how key economic, demographic, and technological trends in ASEAN interact with one another. The second section delves into how evolving digital trends impact labor markets in ASEAN — specifically automation, labor platforms, and the emergence of a knowledge economy in which the quantity, quality, and accessibility of information, rather than the traditional production of goods, drives growth.
