Planning for the Next Generation of Careers (in Partnership with International Labour Organization)

Brief

Technology is already creating new types of jobs, while at the same time making others redundant. How, therefore, can governments successfully plan for a radically different future employment environment? Skills development and migration policy are two of the most effective policy levers available to governments when addressing this question. But both bring risks: developing skills curricula is a long-term task requiring significant investment, while migration policy is often highly contested. This panel will consider the latest thinking on how governments can navigate these challenges to meet a future that is far from certain.
