Anticipating and matching skills needs

Thumbnail

Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.

Lifelong learning

Thumbnail

There is a critical need for a greater overall investment in education and training, particularly in developing countries. Education and training investments should be closely linked to economic and employment growth strategies and programmes. Responsibility should be shared between the government (primary responsibility), enterprises, the social partners, and the individual. To make lifelong learning for all a reality, countries will need to make major reforms of their vocational and education and training systems. School-to-work schemes for young people should integrate education with workplace learning. Training systems need to become more flexible and responsive to rapidly changing skill requirements. Reforms should also focus on how learning can be facilitated, not just on training for specific occupational categories.

The study uses a novel and comprehensive method to map out how employment is likely to change, and the implications for skills. Recent debates about the future of jobs have mainly focused on whether or not they are at risk of automation. Studies have generally minimised the potential effects of automation on job creation, and have tended to ignore other relevant trends, including globalisation, population ageing, urbanisation, and the rise of the green economy.

This study uses a novel and comprehensive method to map out how employment is likely to change, and the implications for skills. It shows both what we can expect, and where we should be uncertain. It also shows likely dynamics in different parts of the labour market — from sectors like food and health to manufacturing. The study finds that education, health care, and wider public sector occupations are likely to grow. It also explains why some low-skilled jobs, in fields like construction and agriculture, are less likely to suffer poor labour market outcomes than has been assumed in the past.

ILO

The International Labour Organization is the tripartite U.N. agency that promotes Decent Work through employment, social security, labour standards and social dialogue. Its work on skills development is guided by the conceptual framework on Skills to improve productivity, employment growth, and development agreed in 2008 by representatives of Governments, Employers’ Associations and Workers’ Associations. Research, policy advice, and pilot projects and technical cooperation programmes to apply good practices in different circumstances across its 185 member States aims to boost the employability of workers, the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises, and the inclusiveness of economic growth. The ILO Secretariat in offices in 40 countries works with Ministries of Labour, employers’ organizations, and trade unions to integrate skills development into national and sector development strategies in order to better meet current labour market needs and to prepare for the jobs of the future; to expand access to employment-related training so that youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are better able to acquire skills and secure productive and decent work; and to improve the ability of public employment services to provide career guidance, maintain labour exchange services, and deliver active labour market programmes.For more information regarding the ILO’s work on skills and employability go to: http://www.ilo.org/skills/lang--en/index.htm; for ILO/Cinterfor's Knowledge Management Plarform, see: http://www.oitcinterfor.org

Note d’information 8

On estime que les changements technologiques, climatiques et démographiques auront, de pair avec d’autres facteurs déterminants, des incidences notables et diverses sur la demande de compétences (voir les Notes d’information nos 2, 6 et 10). Il va donc falloir procéder à un double aménagement des systèmes de développement des compétences pour façonner l’avenir du travail. Tout d’abord, ces systèmes vont devoir fournir les compétences de base qui habiliteront les citoyens à saisir les nouveaux créneaux technologiques. Et, deuxièmement, ils devront promouvoir un apprentissage dynamique tout au long du cycle de vie pour s’assurer que les individus restent en phase avec la numérisation et autres facteurs de changement.

Cette note d’information donne un aperçu des compétences professionnelles qui seront requises à l’avenir et examine comment modifier les systèmes de développement des compétences pour satisfaire à ces demandes. Elle soulève aussi les questions du financement de l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie ainsi que des responsabilités qui incombent respectivement aux gouvernements, aux entreprises et aux travailleurs.

Políticas y sistemas de fomento de las capacidades profesionales para la futura fuerza de trabajo

Nota informativa 8

Se considera que los cambios tecnológicos, climáticos y demográficos, junto con otros factores determinantes, repercuten considerable y diversamente sobre la demanda de capacidades básicas (véanse las notas informativas núms. 2, 6 y 10). El futuro del trabajo requerirá un doble ajuste de los sistemas de desarrollo de las capacidades. En primer lugar, esos sistemas deberán proporcionar las capacidades básicas que permitan a las personas aprovechar las oportunidades tecnológicas cambiantes. En segundo lugar, deberán facilitar la formación dinámica a lo largo del ciclo de vida, para garantizar que las personas sigan el ritmo de la digitalización y otros factores de cambio.

Esta nota informativa ofrece una visión general de las capacidades profesionales necesarias para el futuro del trabajo y considera cómo podría llevarse a cabo la transformación de los sistemas de desarrollo de capacidades para satisfacer estas necesidades. También plantea cuestiones sobre la financiación de la formación permanente y sobre las responsabilidades respectivas de los gobiernos, las empresas y los trabajadores.

Access to training

Thumbnail

Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.  

This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.

How to Reform Worker-Training and Adjustment Policies for an Era of Technological Change

This report lays out an actionable policy agenda to ensure that workers are better positioned to navigate a potentially more turbulent, but ultimately beneficial labour market in an era of technological change. It offers four key factors that are important to reducing the costs of worker dislocation: Ensuring full employment, nationally and regionally; Ensuring workers have needed competencies before they are laid off; reducing financial hardships for laid-off workers; and, providing better transition assistance to help laid-off workers find new employment.

Part of the Future of Work Issue Briefs prepared by the ILO. Issue Brief 8. Alongside other determining factors, technological, climate and demographic change are thought to have profound and diverse impacts on the demand for skills. The future of work will require a twofold adjustment of the skills development systems. First, these systems will need to deliver the foundational skills that allow people to embrace changing technological opportunities. And second, they will need to facilitate dynamic learning over the life cycle to ensure that people keep pace with digitalization and other factors of change.

This Issue Brief provides an overview of skills requirements for the future of work and considers how skills development systems might be transformed to meet these needs. It also raises questions about the financing of lifelong learning, as well as about the respective responsibilities of governments, enterprises and workers.

This report identifies effective strategies to tackle skills imbalances in France. It provides an assessment of practices and policies in the following areas: the collection and use of information on skill needs to foster a better alignment of skills acquisitions with labour market needs; policies stimulating skills demand and skills use; policies related to general and professional education and training; policies to help the unemployed develop the right skills and better match them to jobs; career guidance initiatives; and policies facilitating the entry of migrants with skills that are in demand. The assessment is based on country visits, desk research and data analysis conducted by the OECD secretariat.

Jobs lost, jobs gained: Workforce transitions in a time of automation

The report is part of the McKinsey Global Institute’s (MGI) research program on the future of work, and is by no means the final word on this topic. It builds on MGI’s previous research on labor markets, incomes, skills, and the expanding range of models of work, including the gig economy, as well as the potential impacts on the global economy of digitization, automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

Building on its January 2017 report on automation, McKinsey Global Institute’s (MGI) latest report, Jobs lost, jobs gained: Workforce transitions in a time of automation, assesses the number and types of jobs that might be created under different scenarios through 2030 and compares that to the jobs that could be lost to automation.

The results reveal a rich mosaic of potential shifts in occupations in the years ahead, with important implications for workforce skills and wages. MGI’s key finding is that while there may be enough work to maintain full employment to 2030 under most scenarios, the transitions will be very challenging—matching or even exceeding the scale of shifts out of agriculture and manufacturing we have seen in the past.
