Toddlerisation of China

Now China, very wisely, allows extra cribs in nurseries, double carriages on streets and a second child.

When a big country like china, with the world's largest population, enforcing a 30-year-old strict policy of 'single children' suddenly allows a second child, making their populace, expect massive toddlerisation of society and a few hundred million newborn babies roaring and creating earthquakes in childcare consumption like never ever heard or seen on the planet.

What impact will this have on local cities in China, family models, living and working spaces and mobility issues?

The sudden influx of new babies will be a noticeable change. Unlike the Western heavily indebted nations, China has very deep cash reserves and may deploy its resources to train a new generation of technological advance global age savvy Chinese citizens.

Super power and population-rich nation ensuring its grand global entrepreneurial march

What will the next 300 million newborn babies do to the West?

Not much, apart from massive postings of photos jamming Facebook, but in following decades these grown-ups with top-class education, the right discipline and armed with powerful technologies will acquire geo-political clout and economic power and start crunching dormant Western economies.

Unstoppable, some billion entrepreneurs from faraway lands are on the slow march. On the other hand, the fear of millions of Chinese marching to Nebraska or Glasgow is certainly not going to happen. The global age of the period will allow smart entrepreneurial nations to dominate global segments from the comfort of their backyards, like the Alibabas or Ubers of the future. However, current mega establishments scattered all over the West, unless well prepared for such mega forces, can very easily lose their global presence in such mega shifts.

The global practicalities of interdependencies of global operations and collaborative alliance structuring are essential.

The population-rich factor

Free and easy technologies in the hands of population-rich nations is like gun powder creating explosions of nouveau entrepreneurialism. Every new idea deployed with every handheld mobile device is kindling grassroots fires of innovative excellence. The global economical balance will continue to shift towards population-rich nations.

When China and India alone will create more than a billion middle-class society by 2030, the global consumerism and image supremacy shifts will grossly alter global measurement of talent and skills sets. Mathematical models show some extra ordinary shifts over the next decade. According to McKinsey, the emerging economies by 2020 will spend 30 trillion dollars yearly this would create a new landscape of new global economy.

The knowledge-rich nations

Super knowledge-rich nations like Canada and USA should consider allowing 10 million small- and mid-size SME owners to land within their lands as new immigrants and create a new multi-trillion dollar economy with massive job creation and exportability. The room is wide open to build capacity and bring local prosperity. The fear of foreign invasion is always a big concern even in such countries like Canada and USA where 99% landed at some point in time as immigrants.

The technocalamity factor

When the tsunami of free technologies makes organisations look increasingly outdated, the same tsunamis can quadruple exports, innovative excellence and catapult into image supremacy. This makes technocalamity a new global age phenomena. Download the White Paper here.

The language factors

Hundreds of millions of cart pushers and snake charmers of yesteryears now suddenly trading their goods online, checking out global markets and talking to each other face to face on Skype. English is no longer a prerequisite as the online population is so large that each and every single language has its own critical mass. English is now about 27% of the language of global online community. Instant translations and non-English websites complete with non-English domain names are adding billion additional non-English speaking online users. English language, over time earned its global image supremacy as universal and business language, but in time may lose its edge to other major languages as the global 'e-commerce language'.

So where do nations stand? What do they offer so uniquely in innovative entrepreneurial excellence? Is it just cheap labour, global age knowledge, innovative excellence, armies of entrepreneurs with global age skills, all or neither? How do they communicate with the new world? How and where do they stand?
