and it's wiring who can eyes ations for example be. the organization for economic cooperation and development and they are saying that this could end up widening the social and educational divides in the future which again then will be left up to schools and teachers to trying to fix it when they the kids eventually go back to school well is the reality then can we expect to see children set back if this lockdown continues for a longer period of time and by all accounts it might be something that all of us need to prepare for. yeah and that there is a divide over that question because there are those who say absolutely kids are going to be set for example some countries like the united kingdom have already canceled all the big examinations the kids and you were teenagers this coming summer so that's been very worrying for some of them but others are saying look no kids will be fine they will adapt to their environment and if not they were catch up with what's going on when that back at school that other life lessons as well that kids can be learning such as amount to help out around the house if they have a gun and they're lucky enoug

that question to the organization for economic cooperation and development the o.e.c.d. in paris which helped make up the rules for measuring g.d.p. it's always been wrong to only use g.d.p. for policy decisions that's always been the case i mean it's one macro economic indicator what we observe in today's concept of g.d.p. is there are lots of transactions that you as a christian would benefit from that are not in the economic system because they are free but you derive value from them so you think there must be something wrong because i'm getting all this utility all this value from something that isn't being recorded in conventional g.d.p. statistics and as we saw advancing digitalisation and globalization makes it increasingly difficult to measure the countries real economy. a challenge and how much g.d.p. was generated by an economic entity that has no reporting mechanism in my country is an impossible question to answer let me just be clear i mean it's not the wrong measure for for measurement or for policy making it's not a measure that should be used in isolation
