Upskilling for Shared Prosperity
Millions of people have been left behind due to the effects of COVID-19, market volatility, or because they work in industries that are being replaced by new sectors. All of this highlights the critical need for
reskilling and
upskilling. Richard Baldwin, Jacques Bughin, Eric Chin and other contributors to this report by the
World Economic Forum provide a quantitative analysis of the impact upskilling can have on economic growth. They show how upskilling helps to reduce inequalities by breaking the cycle that perpetuates low-paid work by preparing people to undertake good jobs. It expands people’s horizons over the course of their working lives and gives them tools to reach their potential. It also enables people to participate more fully in society.
