REGISTRATION EXTENDED TO APRIL 22!
 
The DLSU Angelo King Institute, School of Economics
and
Economics Organization - 19th Young Economists' Convention
 
cordially invite the student community
to the 
 
Young Economist's Policy Initiative (YEPI) - Policy Writing Competition
 
with the theme
 
"Industry 4.0 and the Future of Work:
Empowering Labor in the Post-Pandemic World"

​The COVID-19 pandemic is catalyzing digitization and automation. However, this phenomenon — along with the COVID-induced recession — could lead to prolonged job displacements, or worsen inequalities when the gains of digital transformation are made inaccessible to underprivileged sectors of society. The challenge for policymakers is to find a way for Industry 4.0 to create a better future of work in a post-pandemic world, taking note of the lessons learned during the COVID-19 crisis.
 
Be a part of this year’s YEPI Competition and win up to ₱15,000 and an opportunity to have your policy paper published in the DLSU AKI Policy Brief Publications!
