About This Book

Skills are the key to shaping a better future, enabling countries and people to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world. Megatrends such as globalisation, technological progress, demographic change, migration, and climate change, and most recently COVID-19, are reshaping work and society, generating a growing demand for higher levels and new sets of skills.

Our Review

This comprehensive analysis examines how global forces—from technological disruption and demographic shifts to climate change and the pandemic's aftermath—are fundamentally transforming the skills needed for individuals and nations to succeed. It presents a clear-eyed view of the growing demand for advanced competencies in an increasingly interconnected world, arguing that skill development is the essential lever for navigating this new reality.

What sets this work apart is its authoritative, data-driven perspective on how these megatrends converge to reshape not just labor markets, but society itself. Young adults and policy-minded readers will find a crucial framework for understanding the future of work and the urgent need for lifelong learning, making it a vital read for anyone invested in their own economic resilience and the broader societal adaptation required for what comes next.
