Social mobility promises 'broken' for ethnic minority childrens Black and Asian Muslim children are less likely to get professional jobs, despite doing better at school, according to an official report. The Social Mobility Commission said it uncovered "stark differences" between how groups progress into work. Some minorities have higher jobless rates, although poorer white boys are least likely to go to university. Alan Milburn, chair of the Commission, said the British 'social mobility promise' was being broken. "British families are told that if their children go to school and work hard, they will be rewarded with good jobs and opportunities. "In recent months, the low educational attainment of White British boys has gained significant attention. The study was carried out by education think-tanks LKMco and Education Datalab, looking at how students progress through schooling, if they go on to sixth form and university, and how their achievements translate into jobs.

Discover Your Passion: Volunteering Opens Your Eyes to New Career Paths “Jambo! Jambo!” yells a young girl, greeting us with the traditional Swahili welcome. She runs towards us, a huge smile on her face despite the fact that she is barefoot and her dress is tattered. “Opportunity isn’t a chance, it’s a choice,” said Mia Farrow during a Me to We presentation to hundreds of youth from across North America, including myself. Me to We, a social enterprise created through the charity Free The Children, offers youth volunteer trips to Kenya, Ghana, Nicaragua, Ecuador, India and Arizona. I met Rebecca when we set out to collect water for a local village. I began the trip unsure if I would even attend university the following year, but the afternoon I spent with Rebecca and her family gave me the drive and passion I needed to make the decision to study journalism. Jenny Dadswell, a fellow volunteer, was also influenced by her experience in Kenya. Experiences like my trip to Kenya make you aware not only of the world and other cultures, but of yourself.

The rapid growth of smartphones and internet connectivity across the country, especially in tier-II and III cities, has given greater access to virtual shopping and e-tailing for the tech-savvy generation and millennials.

Mobile penetration and increasing use of smartphones have led to the emergence of m-commerce, which accounted for about 40 percent of the sector’s sales this year,” Tata CLiQ Chief Executive Officer Ashutosh Pandey told IANS.

So far, the Jack Ma-founded enterprise has been a preferred platform for small businesses in India to source industrial goods from China. And, for vendors selling their products to customers globally. It has, though, kept its plan to enter e-commerce in India under wraps. “Given the kind of merchant network they have, India is definitely a potential market for them,” says Devangshu Dutta, chief executive of Third Eyesight, a consultancy for e-commerce firms. A mail to Alibaba did not elicit a response. Alibaba will pay rent of Rs 275 a sq ft monthly or a little over Rs 1 crore.

Vodafone bets on enterprise business to drive growth Vodafone is in talks with a state election commission to provide customised communication services, including a monitoring system that would allow the election commissioner to see as many as 22,000 polling booths at one shot, as India’s second largest telco bets on its enterprise business to drive growth. The talks with the election commission include a mechanism to facilitate payments to all volunteers directly via Vodafone’s mobile wallet, Nick Gliddon, director for business services at Vodafone India, said without naming the state. Vodafone is looking to beef up its enterprise services at a time when its retail mobile business is under intense competitive pressure after the entry of Reliance Jio Infocomm. Vodafone, which worked with the election commission during recent polls in certain places, is also tying up with microfinance firms and startups. Vodafone Business Services contributed 16.4% of Vodafone India revenues in the first half of the current fiscal year.

Amazon's losses to rise as it aims Seattle-based online retailer Amazon’s losses in India are expected to accelerate in 2017 as the company focuses on new services such as Prime, Prime Video and its grocery delivery service, Amazon Now. In the three months that ended September, the company reported a $541-million (Rs 3,570 crore) loss from its international business arm, attributing it largely to spending in India. In 2015-16, Amazon’s losses in India more than doubled to Rs 3,572 crore from Rs 1,724 crore in the year-ago period. The pace of investments will quicken as the company gets closer to market leader Flipkart, say experts. “Amazon isn’t going to slow down its investments just because Flipkart isn’t doing anything, in fact, they will see it as an opportunity to press the pedal,” said Harminder Sahni, founder and managing director at Wazir Advisors. Prime, a loyalty subscription service Amazon launched in India earlier this year, offers free one- and two-day deliveries to customers.
