The survey’s findings confirm e-commerce’s role as the key driver of growth in the ASEAN region. Wholesale and retail trade sector had the highest proportion of people starting new businesses (50%), while the logistics sector had the highest share of people finding new jobs (36%). Notably, respondents from these two sectors are among those who also reported a decline in income. This could be because when people experienced a fall in income, they started new businesses in the wholesale and retail trade sector to leverage e-commerce opportunities. A majority of respondents have adapted to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic through significant digital adoption, however, the benefits of digitalization are unevenly spread across the region. Those who are less “digitalized” found further digital adoption less appealing. specialized / World Economic Forum ; In collaboration with Sea Ltd Economía digital recuperación económica digitalización encuestas acceso a la tecnología capacitación en habilidades digitales seguridad en línea pdf https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_ASEAN_Digital_Generation_2021.pdf https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_ASEAN_Digital_Generation_2021.pdf ES-MaONT 211018 20241218012008.0 00006755
