September (3rd Week Edition)
GIRLS WIN IN SCHOOL, MEN WIN IN EARNINGS. WHY?
It's about what happens AFTER.Inside this week's EP:
🔸 40% of young women are NEET (not in school or work) vs 17% of men
🔸 El Niño set to intensify to VERY STRONG by Dec 2026 - WMO
🔸 ASEAN is now the world's 4th largest economy ($4.5T), but its biggest growth is still untapped
🔸 30 years of work = 2.5x more productive = 12 years of schooling#EconomicsPerspective #WorldBank #HCIplus #HumanCapital #GenderGap

Girls Outperform Boys In School By 5 Points But Men Earn 21% More: HCI+ Explains Gap Is Jobs, Not Schools
Several studies have shown that workers gain competence and efficiency through experience. After thirty years, workers are about two and a half times more efficient than those who start out, in a similar way to someone who has gone through 12 years of formal education.

World Bank's HCI: Reveals Work Experience Builds Human Capital as Much as Education
A worker with 30 years of experience is 2.5x more productive than a newcomer, a gain equal to 12 years of schooling. The World Bank's new HCI rise tool shows work doesn't just use human capital, it builds it.

🧠 Human capital used to mean our productive capacity but now it is more than that - our data (cognitive biometric, genetic and thinking process) can be harnessed to generate profit.

In the world of private equity, the leadership team is the most significant factor in a portfolio company's success. Many firms still rely on gut instinct or a familiar Rolodex when appointing executives. However, the most successful investors are shifting toward a rigorous, data-backed approach to talent. They recognize that an executive who thrived in a stable corporate environment might fail in the high-velocity, high-leverage world of a PE-backed exit strategy.
Building the right team requires looking beyond the resume and analyzing how a leader’s specific competencies align with the value creation plan. You cannot expect a turnaround specialist to manage a period of aggressive organic growth effectively. The goal is to move past individual brilliance and focus on how the executive team functions as a unit under pressure.
🧠 Effective PE firms align executive assessments with the specific goals of the investment thesis.
⚡ Speed to value is the primary driver for leadership decisions.
🎓 Success depends on the team's ability to execute a high-stakes pivot within a short window.
🔍 Behavioral data is becoming as important as financial performance when evaluating a CEO.https://rhrinternational.com/blog/building-the-right-executive-team-in-private-equity-portfolio-companies/

New entrants, incumbents, and the search for knowledge: the role of job title ambiguity in the US information and communication technology industry, 2004–2014 https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:hal:journl:hal-04918213&r=&r=ict
"… job titles offer a meaningful public source of information to select #poaching targets
… knowledge workers whose job titles were more ambiguous tended to be less likely to be poached by other employers. These results are strongest for mobility to industry incumbents.
… New entrants as well as lateral entrants tend to be less sensitive to job title ambiguity than industry incumbents
… #recruiters shy away from knowledge workers with ambiguous job titles
… In contexts characterized by a scarce supply of workers and high degrees of poaching… job title #ambiguity may act as a meaningful way to reduce the poaching of workers from other employers
… firms may decide to strategically leverage ambiguous job titles to increase the odds of #retention of valuable #humanCapital and the knowledge associated with it
… While #jobTitles may serve as a buffer against incumbent firms, they may be less effective against the poaching attempts of entrants or employers active in other industries."

Assessing the Value of Incomplete University Degrees: Experimental Evidence from HR Recruiters https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izadps:dp17693&r=&r=lma
"… studying unsuccessfully for a degree directly related to a job can still yield positive returns in terms of #wages compared to activities not focused on formal #humanCapital accumulation, such as working and traveling. However, back of the envelope calculations show that these increases just cover the direct and opportunity costs of studying.
… HR recruiters view years of unsuccessful study without a direct link to a job as “lost” years, offering substantially lower wages to such applicants compared to people who have a university entrance diploma but have never studied.
… recruiters highly value alternative forms of human capital acquisition, and may largely prefer it to unsuccessful university studies. In the scenario we used, HR recruiters showed a strong preference for people without a degree who had completed a company-based #traineeship.
In sum, these results suggest that a failed degree is rarely a worthwhile investment—at least in the eyes of HR recruiters."

With the steadily evolving threat landscape, resilience is more important than ever—both in the technical systems we rely on and in the teams that drive business success.
On the technical side, having robust and reliable computer systems ensures operations run smoothly, even during disruptions. It’s critical to invest in infrastructure that can withstand and recover from cyber threats, system failures, and other challenges.
But technology alone isn't enough.
I'd argue that even more important is the human resilience of ones staff. A team that is adaptable, proactive, and supported during tough times is key to navigating the unpredictable. Ensuring your employees have the tools, training, and mental well-being support they need makes all the difference when facing adversity. Companies are made of people, and exist for people.
True organizational strength lies in the combination of both: resilient systems that keep us running, and resilient people who drive innovation and recovery.
Continuing to build and nurture both sides of this equation for long-term success.

According to a new study, companies that replace people with AI will get left behind. The study found that the most successful firms use AI to augment human capabilities, not to automate them. By doing so, they can create more value, innovation and customer loyalty.

A #HumanCapital Theory of Who Escapes the Grasp of the Local Monopsonist
https://www.nber.org/papers/w31014
Mobile high skill workers can avoid lower #monopsony #wages by moving to other more competitive local #LaborMarkets.
Monopsony markets are predicted to experience a “brain drain” over time.
…observed cross-sectional wage gaps in monopsony markets partially reflects sorting on worker ability. The rise of #work from home may act as a substitute for high-skill worker migration from monopsony markets.
