China and World GDP post COVID

The world hit by recession and COVID fears amid lockdowns have not only reduced the GDP of most countries of the world but it is expected to be down by more than 8.8 trillion Dollars. the slow down comes despite Government efforts to support the economy, including measures  such as tax cuts and stimulus packages around the world. The US fed has announced another package worth a trillion dollar and so has India, China has opened up its economy too, but fears of another wave of COVID arising in China has led to closedowns of some of its cities in The North of China.

Even though Governments around the world look forward to a more home based, self reliant economy. Its going to be goodbye to globalisation and the Governments are going to turn more and more inwards to their own economy. Before COVID at every moment there were atleast 2..2 million passengers on the move from one place to another, with this coming to a stand still it is definitely going to impact economies in a much worse way than one can imagine.

There is a lot of activism going on in  most countries to ban "Made in PRC'( Made in China) goods. China would contribute to almost 40 percent of the global International exports. Not only is it going to take a lot of time for countries like USA and India and even a lot of other Asian Countries
to start domestic production but the goods produced at home may not be upto the standard or bear a good enough quality seal as the ones produced in PRC as we have to face it, China has built its economy on Export goods, whereas most other countries have not owing to the huge labour costs and material costs which countries like India and USA will have to bear if they look at a more home based economy.

All these worries are sure to wipe off the Global GDP  and bring it down to its knees. It will only now depend upon Post COVID measures and the availability of vaccine to other  developing countries that the world comes back to its normalcy.

Work-Life Balance: Following Your Heart

 Work-Life Balance: Following Your Heart Work-life balance has become a pivotal aspect of modern living, as individuals strive to find equilibrium between their professional commitments and personal well-being. In this pursuit, the concept of "following your heart" holds significant value, suggesting that aligning one's career choices and daily routines with their passions and interests can lead to a more harmonious and fulfilling life. The traditional view of work often emphasized a linear path of climbing the corporate ladder and dedicating long hours to one's job. However, this approach frequently led to burnout, strained relationships, and a general dissatisfaction with life. Recognizing these challenges, a paradigm shift has occurred, with more people recognizing the importance of integrating personal aspirations into their professional journeys. Following your heart, in the context of work-life balance, involves making career decisions that resonate with your tr...

Foreign workers not welcome Anymore in the USA

President Trump says he favours a merit based immigration system that brings in highly skilled people ans creates jobs inside the US not take away jobs of Americans. He wants to sign a bill that no one thought could have been agreed on. Outsourcing hundreds of workers is especially detrimental in the middle of a pandemic,which has cost millions of Americans their jobs. The US Government is by far the largedt consumer of contracted information-technology work but data ande scarxe on how many H1Bs may be working on Governemnt contract work is being done overseas. Major silicon  alley based companies will be affected as most have extensive contracts with firms.This move is part of the make America great again campaign supported by the Trump administration.
