WEF and Capgemini Unveil Framework to Tackle Job-Matching Challenges Amid Labour Market Disruptions
The World Economic Forum (WEF), in partnership with Capgemini, has launched a guidebook aimed at improving job-matching efficiency as labour markets undergo profound transformation.
By 2030, more than 20% of jobs are expected to be redefined due to structural shifts, raising concerns over skills mismatches, fragmented labour data, and the adoption of emerging technologies.
Titled Matching Talent to the Jobs of Tomorrow: A Guidebook for Public Employment Services, the report sets out a five-step framework to help policymakers and employment services refine job-matching mechanisms.
It explores the role of technology in streamlining the process and presents six country-level case studies examining the deployment of digital solutions and the key factors driving their success.
With growing concerns over the adaptability of labour markets in the face of automation and AI-driven disruption, the guidebook offers practical insights into aligning workforce capabilities with future employment needs.
By leveraging data-driven strategies and fostering greater coordination between employers and policymakers, it aims to enhance labour mobility and mitigate the risks of rising structural unemployment.
