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.

Human Age Series The macroeconomic forces ManpowerGroup identified a decade ago — shifting demographics, greater individual choice, client sophistication and technological revolution — and their structural impacts are evident as they predicted. This confluence of digitization, machine learning, aging and shifting populations, polarization, consumerization and alternative ways of working means business models are being transformed.

The first phase of this transformation manifested itself in faster speed to market and new models competing with traditional businesses. Agility and performance were critical. As the business landscape continues to change we have entered a second phase. Technology is transforming the need for physical infrastructure and assets, enabling organizations to create value through capture, analysis and exchange of vast amounts of data. And, we are seeing the emergence of a Skills Revolution — where finding the right balance of technology, talent and human connection will be what enables both people and businesses to succeed. Individuals with in-demand skills will continue to call the shots on how and where they work, while those without will be at greater risk of being left behind.

Robots Need Not Apply: Human Solutions for the Skills Revolution Technology is transforming organizations, skills needs are changing rapidly and companies cannot find the talent they need. Now is the time for Solutions.

Skills Revolution 2.0 provides a real-time view of the impact of automation on workforces in the digital age – not 5 or 10 years out, but now and in the near-term. It identifies which functions companies expect will grow or shrink. And it provides insight on the increasing value of soft skills – or human strengths.

With real-world case studies, the publication shows how skills and access to employment will be the solution to the Skills Revolution and offers recommendations to move forward.

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

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.

Skill shortages and skill mismatch are major concerns for policy-makers. With mass job destruction and sectoral restructuring following the recent economic crisis, four in 10 EU employers had difficulty finding people with the right skills, while unemployment rates peaked. Rapid digitalisation and technological skills obsolescence has also raised concerns about the extent to which the EU workforce is adequately prepared for the fourth industrial revolution. Yet, despite worries of increasing skill shortages and gaps, about 39% of adult EU employees are overskilled and trapped in low quality jobs. This publication analyses Cedefop’s European skills and jobs survey, a new data set covering about 49 000 EU-28 adult employees. Compiling different data insights, the report highlights that skill mismatch is a complex, multidimensional and dynamic phenomenon. It calls on policy-makers to adopt a different mindset for tackling skill mismatch, focused on sustainable activation, continuous learning, job-task re-engineering and promotion of higher-end product market/managerial practices.
