As a result, without urgent action, businesses are likely to face a huge skills shortage, especially in emerging markets and developing countries, where most economic activity will be concentrated. Indeed, the adult illiteracy rate in Somalia is 63%, and 39% in Nigeria; in South Sudan, more girls die during childbirth than complete primary school.
因此，如果不立刻采取行动，企业可能面临巨大的技能短缺，特别是新兴市场和发展中国家，而这些国家将是大部分经济活动的中心。事实上，索马里成人文盲率为63%，尼日利亚为39%，而在南苏丹，完成小学教育的女孩数量还不及死于分娩的女孩数量。
