Creating Inclusive Labour Market Systems by Leveraging AI and Human Centered Design
SkillLab
Session 252
How organizations are embracing digital innovations to facilitate inclusion for communities at the margins of labour markets.
Global labour markets are changing at an accelerating pace as global mega-trends including automation, climate change, migration, demographic shifts, and even pandemics are are putting pressure on labour markets to connect people with the jobs of the present and future. Yet prevailing labour market systems are often both outdated, and exclusionary in nature, especially with regards to decent work opportunities. Women, youth, migrants & refugees, informal workers, and many other communities face outsized challenges to participation in labour markets that focus on degrees, diplomas, brand names, and networks over actual skills.
Join our panel discussion to learn how organizations working for the economic inclusion of people on the margins of labour markets are partnering with technology startup SkillLab to leverage artificial intelligence and help people capture and connect their skills with economic opportunity.
