Six out of ten jobs in the world will be based in Asia while five Asian\u003cbr\u003ecountries will catapult into the top ten economies. It is imperative that Asia is prepared to take up this challenge by\u003cbr\u003eproducing enough capable and ethical leaders to cultivate ideas and implement plans for a successful future. In\u003cbr\u003eWhy Asia is Hopeful, graduate students from Harvard, Tufts, and MIT who participated in two Asia Leadership Treks\u003cbr\u003eand ten Asia Leadership Fellowship Tours in 2017, discover how Asia is preparing for this acknowledged future. The\u003cbr\u003eTreks covered prominent cities such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Seoul as well as newly developing\u003cbr\u003eeconomies like Myanmar and Vietnam.
