Industry 4.0 is leading and transforming consumer experiences, industry supply & demand
chains across sectors like Automotive, BFSI, Logistics, Education, IT-ITES, Tourism &
Hospitality, Retail which are all rapidly embracing technological solutions to reduce costs and
enhance customer value. Most of all, there is transformation in the delivery of the Healthcare
services and delivery with the intervention of high-end technology, as highlighted by the
COVID19 pandemic. Technology will be the underlying common factor for the Future of Jobs.
While demographics are shifting in countries like Japan and EU, with an increasingly aging
population, countries like India and from Africa offer a young workforce to the world. India also
sends out the world's largest number of emigrants i.e. 18 million and is, therefore, a critical voice
in immigrant integration. Youth from India & other South Asian countries have formed the
backbone of Construction Industry in the Middle East. Nursing and Healthcare are other sectors
where India’s talent is making their mark. The Indian youth is much demand for IT-ITES across
the world. There is an immense need to create workforce to meet employment opportunities
across the world, through skilling and reskilling.
The session will focus on how the technology has reshaped the future of work & industry and
how skilling and workforce development ecosystems can collaborate, design, and develop
strategies and programmes to meet the New World Order requirements.
