Manufacturing in China vs India
Details
About the talk
China had four important advantages with respect to India. The first was that they had a more educated workforce. The second was that they had a healthier population. The third advantage was that they were a more equal population in terms of gender equality. And the fourth advantage they had with respect to India is that China has very low levels of social stratification. China is a world leader in consumer tech but they are lagging significantly behind the United States when it comes to Enterprise Tech. And obviously this is where India can make a great contribution to China. In infrastructure, the Chinese can help India a lot both in terms of quality of infrastructure and cost. Whether it’s railways, whether it’s tunnels, whether it’s roads, whether it’s highways. In the manufacturing sector too they’ve got much experience.
