How E-commerce Creates Jobs | Xubei Luo | TEDxZizhuParkWomen

China's experience shows that the development of e-commerce is not necessarily limited to high-income countries or urban areas, nor to high-tech sectors. If conditions are right, e-commerce can develop rapidly in developing countries and rural areas and create jobs for semi skilled workers and vulnerable groups. Ms. Luo has 15 years of experience working at the World Bank Group. She has worked in the operation, research, and evaluation departments, and conducted country work in the East Asia and Europe and Central Asia Regions. She led the enterprise aspect of the World Development Report 2014, Risk and Opportunity. She recently task managed the joint research in e-commerce between the World Bank and the Alibaba Group, China. She published over 50 articles on poverty and inequality, growth, labor market, spatial economy, global value chains, business environment, and trade facilitation issues. She coauthored a book of Multilateral Banks and the Development Process: Vital Links in the Results Chain (published by Transaction Publishers, 2012). She is ranked the top 10% of authors by all-time downloads on SSRN. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
