1. Previously, China was considered as a country with inexhaustible labor; but not any longer. The biggest challenge in front of the apparel manufacturers today is finding good workers at a lesser cost. The skyrocketing labor wages in China are pushing the apparel retailers of US to consider other alternative options. Labor costs have risen by 5% to 15% in the current year. Increase in labor will affect the profit margins of the foreign companies who have their manufacturing base in China. (1) Does China loose the advantage of labor cost? (2) Will the increasing labor cost in China result in decreased foreign investment in the future? Questions for seminar

2. What are the most pressing education challenges today in developing countries? What makes them so difficult to solve? Questions for seminar
