Myanmar returnees could provide innovation boost

Friday, November 11, 2016

Significance

Suu Kyi's government wants to develop the national economy, and thinks the Myanmar diaspora can help.

Impacts

  • Some communities will feel excluded from Myanmar's economic reform if development gaps appear.
  • Domestic economic development gaps could cause social frictions.
  • Expanding Myanmar's formal economy would contribute to reducing forced labour and human trafficking.
