 ECONOMIC LESSONS FROM ASIAN TIGERS 


Welcome to class! 


In today’s class, we will be talking about the economic lessons from Asian Tigers. 

Enjoy the class!


CONTENT OF OUR CLASS

1. Economic History of the Asian Tiger and Japan (1960-2000).

2. Review of the Development Strategies employed by the Asian Tiger.

3. Lessons for the Nigerian Economy.


ECONOMIC HISTORY OF THE ASIAN TIGERS AND JAPAN (1960-2000):

The term Asian Tiger refers to a group of countries in the south-east of Asia which includes Hong Kong which is the administrative zone of China, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and Indonesia from 1960 to the year 2000, these Asia Economies did something miraculous hence they are popularly referred to as the Asian Miracles. There was this aggression to develop their economies. The South-East Asia states have placed regional economic integration as a top priority. They formed the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) with the ambition of becoming an official Economic Community in 2015.


In that short period of 40 years, those five Economies became a big part of the workshop of the world. They were not just regional players expanding locally they were expanding globally.


THE JAPANESE MIRACLE:

The Japanese Miracle refers to Japan’s phenomenal economic recovery following the devastation of World War II. Within short decades of its capitulation, Japan had joined the community of prosperous nations.

1. Formulation and implementation of deliberate government policies.

2. Strengthening the development of Agriculture

3. Encouraging Industrial development.

4. Development of small and medium scale enterprise (SMEs).

Density

Master Segun: I'm happy to welcome you again to my class  Density Definition: Density is the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance. Formula: Density = Mass / Volume Units: kg/m³ (kilograms per cubic meter) Key Points: - Density is a scalar quantity, meaning it has no direction. - Density is a physical property of a substance, meaning it can be measured and quantified. - Density is often used to identify a substance, as different substances have unique densities. - Density is affected by temperature and pressure, but not by the shape or size of the substance. Types of Density: - Absolute Density: The density of a substance in its pure state. - Relative Density: The density of a substance relative to the density of water. Measurements: - Mass: Measured in kilograms (kg) - Volume: Measured in cubic meters (m³) - Density: Calculated by dividing mass by volume Examples: - Lead: 11,340 kg/m³ - Copper: 8,960 kg/m³ - Water: 1,000 kg/m³ - Air: 1.2 kg/m³ Applications: - Density is us

 Master Segun's Class. I am eager to have you join us this weekend class!! In today’s Biology class, We will be learning about Balance in Nature. We hope you enjoy the class! CONTENT Dynamic Equilibrium in Nature Factors Affecting Population Abiotic Factors Affecting Population Biotic factors affecting Population Family planning and birth control DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM IN NATURE When population-influenced factors (abiotic and biotic) are favourable, growth is promoted but when they are unfavourable growth is retarded. A factor which limits the population growth is called a LIMITING FACTOR. The sum of all the limiting factors is known as ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE The net effect of the abiotic and biotic factors is at a point, the population size of living organisms tends towards a dynamic equilibrium known as BALANCE IN NATURE. When the population increases, the environmental resistance increases too. For instance, food decreases in a population and this results in a competition which l

Chisom and Mesoma, I want to welcome you to Master Segun's Class   Momentum Definition: The product of an object's mass and velocity Equation: Momentum (p) = mass (m) x velocity (v) Units: kg m/s Key Points Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The more massive an object is, the more momentum it will have The faster an object is moving, the more momentum it will have Momentum is conserved in closed systems, meaning that the total momentum before an interaction is equal to the total momentum after the interaction Types of Momentum 1. Linear momentum: The product of an object's mass and linear velocity 2. Angular momentum: The product of an object's moment of inertia and angular velocity Factors Affecting Momentum 1. Mass: Increasing the mass of an object will increase its momentum 2. Velocity: Increasing the velocity of an object will increase its momentum 3. Friction: Friction can decrease the momentum of an object by opposing its m
