The Economist and Shell have joined forces once again for the fifth international writing competition to encourage future thinking.
This year's competition poses the question: Import workers or export jobs? Should developing nations be allowed to 'poach' skilled professional labour from countries who have helped pay for this expertise? Or is the influx of immigrants, whether skilled or unskilled, a positive force, bringing either expertise or ambition and hard work to the host nation?
All entries to the competition must be received by midnight (GMT) on Friday 20th August 2004 via this Web site.
Mitmachen! ein 2.000 Wörter Essay und dafür insgesamt $ 65.000 ausgeschüttet? Nicht schlecht. Im letzten Jahr gabs 6.000 Einreichungen. Ich will, dass ein Blogger gewinnt, am besten ein twoday.net Blogger!
