Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Like many millennials, I spend my morning commute sifting through texts, emails and headlines on my phone. The news
offers an odd blend of learning about robot backpacks that support remote collaboration, and reading about the millions
of Venezuelans fleeing poverty and violence.
As the digital revolution transforms industries, and ongoing geopolitical challenges become more complex, it seems like
we are waiting for some inevitable ‘spark’ to ignite the biggest wave of global integration since the fall of the Berlin wall.
Globalization 4.0 could, like preceding waves of globalization, have mixed results: economic growth and poverty
alleviation on the one hand, and political crises and greater income inequality on the other. These days, the outcomes of
further global integration feel particularly uncertain.
For millennials, our economic opportunities are uncertain: we believe we may not have the skills we need for the jobs of
the future. If we are not intentional in our preparation for Globalization 4.0, we risk exacerbating these problems.
The last wave of globalization in the 1990s lifted some countries out of poverty. However, income inequality is increasing
in those countries and in large economies including the US. Other countries with low-cost labor are anticipating the
benefits of the next wave of globalization, but there is a risk of laying a foundation that drives inequality for generations.
The positive transformative power of Globalization 4.0, if millennials can shape it on our terms of equity, equality and
sustainability, can create the equal access to opportunities for all. A successful Globalization 4.0 is one of inclusive and
equitable growth across and within countries.
