Absorptive Capacity: Top-10 NWCs have the Potential to Support Large IT-BPO Operations Absorptive capacity is the theoretical maximum level of employment that can be supported by a location’s graduate and labor pools at a given point in time. Briefl y, the formula assumes a level of attrition that the suitable and willing graduate and labor force in that location must be able to replace. The chart below shows that the talent pools in all top-10 Next Wave Cities™ (NWCs) of 2008–2009 are theoretically underutilized.

The proportion of the labor force considered suitable for O&O is as high as or higher than that of many other potential O&O destinations in Asia. According to human resources professionals interviewed across 24 countries by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), 30 percent of generalists and 30 percent of finance and accounting professionals in the Philippines are suitable for work in a multinational organization, higher than in other Asian countries such as China, India, or Malaysia. For life sciences professionals, researchers, and analysts, 20 percent of the Philippines labor pool is considered suitable for global work, higher rates than those of either China or India. This high-quality talent pool is also affordable. In a study by the MGI in 2004, the Philippines tied with India as the lowest labor-cost provider, with total labor costs roughly equivalent to 12 percent of the cost of equivalent jobs in the US. This labor cost competitiveness persists. In 2006, the MGI again estimated relative total labor costs and found the Philippines at 16 percent of the US across seven occupation categories, slightly higher than India but lower than the 15 other countries surveyed. Low costs for telecommunications and real estate have also made the Philippines an attractive destination for O&O. The Philippines is viewed as more favorable than China, India, and Malaysia for telecommunications and substantially more attractive than China or India for real estate.
