The workforce is rapidly evolving with advancements in communication technologies, automation, and the increasing role of data analytics. Pedro Moreno da Fonseca from the International Labour Organization (ILO) shared insights on how these trends reshape the job market. Women are entering the labour market in greater numbers, especially in tech, while the gig economy continues to grow. Automation and AI are transforming work, making upskilling essential for staying competitive. Additionally, the aging population presents challenges and opportunities for the future workforce. As flexible and remote work becomes more common, continuous learning is key to adapting to these changes. #FutureOfWork #SkillsDevelopment #AI #Automation #WorkplaceTrends

🌍 Skills for Social Justice: A Key to Equality In a world striving for equality, skills development is the foundation of social justice. As Sangheon Lee shared at the Global Skills Forum, education and training are vital tools to combat inequality and ensure opportunities for all. 💡 "The lack of access to good training and education is a main source of inequality and social exclusion. Skills development must be inclusive, leading to real job opportunities and meaningful contributions to society." – Sangheon Lee By bridging the gap between training and employment, we can empower individuals to thrive while fostering inclusive societies. #SocialJustice #SkillsForAll #FutureOfWork #TBT
