5 things we know about the jobs of the future

As the labour market rapidly changes, new, nearly real-time data and metrics give us better insight than ever before into what the jobs of the future will look like. The kinds of jobs emerging in the global economy span a wide range of professions and skills, reflecting the opportunities for workers of all backgrounds and educational levels to take advantage of emerging jobs and the new economy. Identifying emerging jobs and the skills that they require provides valuable insights to inform training investments, and paves the way for a "Reskilling Revolution", as individuals seek new skills to keep pace with change. But for all of the opportunities that the new economy will bring, there are stark skills gaps and gender gaps that must be addressed. If we don't, they will continue to widen in the future.
