AI, Talent Shortage Pose Threats to Philippine Call Centers
(Bloomberg) -- The Philippines is racing to defend its share of the nearly $300 billion global business process outsourcing market as it battles deteriorating talent, rising competition and rapidly evolving artificial intelligence.
Most Read from Bloomberg
The Southeast Asian nation, the world’s second-largest provider of outsourcing services, is producing a “low ratio” of graduates with the required level of communication and technical skills, potentially losing out on opportunities to add 800,000 jobs in the next five years, according to industry group IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines.
“The most common challenge I hear is comprehension,” Jack Madrid, who heads the country’s main BPO trade group, said in an interview, referring to failed job seekers. “I think they fail at a more basic level,” he said in his office in Manila on Aug. 2.
The skills gap is making it tougher for the Philippines to defend its turf in an industry that has helped expand its middle class since the 1990s — outsourcing accounts for around 8% of the nation’s gross domestic product and is a major source of foreign exchange inflows. As AI-powered bots take away an increasing number of outsourcing jobs since the Covid-19 pandemic, the rise of English-speaking workers around the world is also diminishing the longstanding language advantage for natives of the former US colony.
Illustrative of the deterioration in the quality of education in the country, nine out of 10 Filipino children are unable to read a simple text with comprehension by age 10, according to World Bank data.
“I think we were better English speakers before,” Madrid said, urging the government to consider reverting to English as a mode of instruction in schools instead of the learner’s mother tongue.

Tyson Foods to shut four US chicken plants in blow to small towns
CHICAGO (Reuters) -Tyson Foods is shutting four more chicken plants - in Arkansas, Indiana and Missouri - to cut costs, a blow to small communities in the U.S. heartland that depend on the meatpacker for nearly 3,000 jobs. Tyson closed two other chicken plants, in Arkansas and Virginia, with almost 1,700 employees this year, and has also laid off corporate employees. The decision by Tyson, the largest U.S. meat producer by sales, to shutter facilities surprised and saddened local officials, who said the four plants have been fixtures for more than 50 years.

UK hiring falls at fastest pace in over three years, wage growth slows
British employers reduced the number of new permanent staff they hired through recruitment agencies by the most since mid 2020 last month due to concerns about the economic outlook, adding to signs that the market is becoming tougher for job seekers. A gauge of permanent staff hiring by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and accountants KPMG fell to 42.4, the lowest since the 34.3 in June 2020 when the country was in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey's measure of temporary staff hiring, which often rises when employers are cautious about the outlook, in July showed the weakest growth in nine months - partly because more workers were looking for the security of permanent roles.

Data from Australia and New Zealand Banking Group and employment website Indeed showed job ads rose 0.4% in July from June, when they fell 2.7%. The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised interest rates by a whopping 400 basis points to 4.1%, but the labour market has defied expectations of a slowdown so far, with the jobless rate nearing 50-year lows and the economy adding more jobs than expected.

SHANGHAI/SYDNEY (Reuters) -Since China opened to foreign investment in 1978 under Deng Xiaoping, global firms have ploughed in hundreds of billions of dollars to buy and build factories for market access and cheap labour, bolstering the Chinese currency. A gentle downtrend in foreign direct investment gave way to a steep drop last quarter and inflows to China slammed to their lowest since records began 25 years ago, raising the prospect that the long-term trend is turning. Corporate leaders and their advisers say a shift is under way and the political concerns behind investment decisions are long term, which leaves the yuan facing pressure from what was long one of its staunchest supports.
