Policy, business models and growth in an evolving technology and skills landscape

Dear Ms Keay

 

On 27 June 2016, the Chatham House Future of Work conference will bring together global employers, technology companies, labour market experts, workforce management leaders and international policy-makers to assess how technological trends are reshaping the landscape of work.

Key discussion topics include:

 

  • What industries are likely to see the greatest changes?
  • What skills will future workers require?
  • How should working relationships and environments be adapted?
  • What are the policy implications of the emerging ‘gig’ and ‘on-demand’ economies?
