LAUSANNE SUMMER SCHOOL CACS EPFL FRIDAY 19 JULY CONSUMPTION 09:00 >12:30 Street food in Asia – Visual presentation CHUA Beng Huat Street food is often marketed as a tourist attraction in Asian countries, from developed Japan and Korea to developing Indonesia and Vietnam. Significantly, it is also an important economic institution that contributes to the global competitiveness of particularly emerging economies; inexpensive street food dampens wage demands, thus indirectly subsidizes production costs of capitalists. With sustained economic growth, rising education and income and rising expectations, the street food sector is facing mounting difficulties in recruiting individuals who are willing to take the arduous life of a street food vendor. The case of Singapore is illustrative of the instability and future sustainability of this important economic sector to both the daily life of the local citizens and national competitiveness of the emerging economies in Asia. 12:30 >14:00 Lunch 14:00 >16:00 Group presentations (second round) 16:00 >17:00 Wrap up and evaluation module II 14
