Abstract
This chapter examines graduate employment and labor markets across the broad regional scope of the Asia-Pacific region which includes East, South, and South-East Asia and analyzes the labor market within and across these regions. The chapter is organized into four main sections which explore the Asia-Pacific region and the diverse economies, demographics, and labor markets within that region. The chapter also addresses the mega trends impacting the future of work and employment and the regional strategies that have been developed to tackle these trends. Graduate unemployment, underemployment, and employability are discussed and the chapter ends with a synopsis of strategic responses to generating work-ready graduates across the region.
