"All the Little Live Things" was written in 1967 by the great American historian and story writer Wallace Stegner. It's about a struggling couple who had lost their only son. In that novel, Stegner famously wrote:
"There is a sense in which we are all each other's consequences."
If you think it over, it seems true at many levels. We all are consequences of each other. Just like we all are choices of each other.
So, despite our economic concerns after the prevalent pandemic, Asia will show recovery with a 7.3% growth rate, according to Asian
Development Bank. If there is somthing less likely to be recovered that is the educational loss due to the closing of schools, colleges and universities. If we monetise these learning losses to have a better idea of gravity of the matter, albout $180 per year or a 2.4% decline in future annual earnings of only the school students, hit by the learning Loss, will be in place. The figure is even more drastic in South Asia, $1.25 trillion, which is 5.4% of the region's GDP. And It might just be a beginning. But, we are the unfortunate who arn't ready for the talk.
Mistakes could be possible and you people are more then welcome for rectification.
