The Transition Report 2018-19, “Work in Transition”, analyses the social impact across the EBRD regions of new trends in work patterns, one of the most important challenges facing the world today.
The report highlights the impact on work of changes in demographics and skills and also of migration, both across national borders and within countries.
It concludes that this revolution in work can be successfully harnessed as long as authorities respond with effective policies.
The publication makes concrete proposals on how to deal with rapidly ageing workforces in some societies and the fast-growing numbers of young people looking for work in others.
It reviews the implications of these changes for healthcare and education policies in emerging economies. And it seeks ways to promote investments that will help contain the emigration of workers from poorer countries and deal more effectively with the integration of migrants in richer ones.
Another key section looks at how governments can best respond to the growing trend towards urbanisation as workers in search of employment move away from rural areas.
As usual, the Transition Report provides an overview of progress with structural reforms in individual countries as they work to develop effective market economies.
Experts discussing this important topic included:
· Debora Revoltella, Director of the Economics Department, European Investment Bank, (EIB)
· Rachel Glennerster, Chief Economist, UK Department for International Development (DFID).
· Jörg Zeuner, Chief Economist, KfW, the German development bank.
The event was hosted by the EBRD’s Chief Economist Professor Sergei Guriev and moderated by Anthony Williams, Director of External Communications.
