The world of work is changing fast.

AI, climate change, digitalization, and global inequalities are reshaping how and where people work.

But big questions remain:

  • Will AI create more jobs than it replaces?
  • How can we close the gender gap and make growth truly inclusive?
  • How do demographic trends impact our world of work?
  • What are different regional challenges related to employment?


Our new series, Employment in Focus, dives into these issues through short, data-rich stories that make sense of today’s work trends, and what they mean for the future.

From global trends to regional challenges, from green jobs to technology, it explores real challenges and practical solutions shaping employment worldwide.
