Jobs of Tomorrow Technology and the Future of the Worlds Largest Workforces 2025

Conclusion Enabling a future with high-productivity, inclusive jobs requires multistakeholder action, including from employers, governments and technology solution providers. The appropriate focus areas will differ for economies based on industry structure and income level. For employers and technology solutions providers, the appropriate focus areas are determined by the workforces that will implement technology developments. For many workforces, including agriculture, construction, healthcare and elements of manufacturing (determined by industry), the focus should be on enabling investment and technology diffusion. The transport and logistics and wholesale and retail trade workforces, meanwhile, require efficient and supportive market structures. In the business and management workforce, an understanding of strategic workforce goals and technology-enabled workforce capacity possibilities will determine the level of potential transformation. As a key component of the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Initiative, the Global Future Council on Jobs and Frontier Technologies will spend the remainder of its 2025-2026 term assessing ways to ensure technological development enables higher productivity jobs inclusively. It will identify specific actions for stakeholders based on relevant regional and industry differences. Jobs of Tomorrow: Technology and the Future of the World’s Largest Workforces 14
