      About This Session

      The next phase of economic growth may depend on how successfully countries navigate a fundamental transition in the world of work.

      AI and automation are changing the skills businesses need, the way jobs are organised and the potential for economies to become more productive. At the same time, many countries face a difficult paradox: businesses cannot find the skills they need, while millions of workers need new pathways into employment.

      For governments, this is not simply a question of education or labour policy. It is a question of growth — how to raise productivity, create jobs, help businesses adopt new technologies and ensure that the gains from technological change translate into broader economic opportunity.

      This ministerial panel will explore the choices facing governments as they prepare their economies for the next decade: Where should governments invest? How should businesses and education systems share responsibility for building new skills? And how can countries turn AI-driven productivity gains into more jobs, higher incomes and broader prosperity?
