BBC World News - HARDtalk, On the Road in the Philippines

Hardtalk goes on the road in the Philippines.

Hardtalk goes on the road in the Philippines to discuss whether the country's economic growth can keep pace with its dramatic rise in population?

The Philippines is a nation being transformed by urbanisation and globalisation. It's a developing country building a unique identity as an offshore service-provider for the rich world. But the Philippines faces a challenge - can the country's economic growth keep pace with its dramatic rise in population? Hardtalk goes on the road in the Philippines, and Stephen Sackur explores whether the country's demography has become a poverty trap?
