On its 16th year, NYC continues its legacy of delivering relevant and comprehensive discussion with the theme of "Digitalization and Automation and its Impact on the Nation" which centers on the disruptions these two technological trends have brought towards the Philippine economy and society.
As communication and exchange move towards digital and as machines and systems become more intelligent, society is on the brink of a radical transformation that may greatly improve human quality of life. However, these advancements also pose a threat of mass displacement of various day-to-day tasks, jobs, and even industries. As the general system by which goods and services are exchanged, the economy will be both a recipient and a conductor for this disruption. NYC 16 thus finds it relevant and aligned with its mission, to craft a discussion focused on Digitalization and Automation and its Impact on the Nation, analyzed through the framework of Economics.
The 16th National Youth Congress was at the forefront of sharing knowledge on pressing issues in the society, through social sciences, most especially economics, with the youth. It aimed to be a far-reaching event with the main goal of fostering ideas and inspiring progress among young minds, as well as provide opportunities for action for the Filipino youth. Much more than this is the experience for students themselves to learn from their peers who come from different backgrounds, and could thus provide varying perspectives. Ultimately, the NYC strives to provide an avenue where students form all over the country can gather and learn about the important issues of the Philippine society.
