Davos Agenda: What you need to know about the future of work
The events of the past year have disrupted work, education and society.
From 25-29 January 2021, The Davos Agenda will bring global leaders together to discuss these challenges and the solutions needed to drive recovery and ensure that society and the future of work are sustainable and inclusive.
On the plus side, the pandemic has accelerated trends that have been a long time coming: digitization of workplaces and the platform economy, the expansion of remote and flexible work, and virtual education.
However: “for the first time in recent years, job creation is starting to lag behind job destruction – and this factor is poised to affect disadvantaged workers with particular ferocity,” according to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2020.
