Good Jobs for All in a Changing World of Work - The OECD Jobs Strategy - en - OECD report | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it

Data and research on employment including public employment and management, youth and local employment, jobs, unemployment and labour markets., The digital revolution, globalisation and demographic changes are transforming labour markets at a time when policy makers are also struggling with persistently slow productivity and wage growth and high levels of income inequality.
 
'Inequality, economic insecurity, economic exclusion, are making the headlines.  Anger is high, populist rhetoric is on the rise.   What can be done?  What strategies to adopt?  These are the challenging questions taken up by the new OECD Jobs Strategy report.  I hope the report triggers the very serious discussions these issues deserve.'

Recently, PEW Research published a report on the Future of Jobs…

Reflect on this article about preparing students for an unknown future. Engaging students to learn the skills for learning will prepare them for any possibility.

I believe that if you can identify the fundamental or essentials of any occupation or discipline AND you can continue to educate yourself on those basics, only then will you have any hope of remaining relevant in this ever-changing landscape of the 21st century!
