OECD Skills Outlook 2019
Thriving in a Digital World
Economies and societies are undergoing digital transformations that bring both opportunities
and challenges and countries’ preparedness to seize the benefits of a digital world
is largely dependent on the skills of their population. This edition of the OECD Skills
Outlook aims to understand how policies, and in particular those that affect skills
development and use, can shape the outcomes of digital transformation and translate
into more equally shared benefits among and within countries’ populations. Ensuring
people can benefit from new technologies and are not left behind requires a comprehensive
and co-ordinated policy effort. This package of co-ordinated policies needs to simultaneously
promote digitalisation where the latter increases productivity and well-being, and
otherwise cushion its negative impacts.
