Inclusive Growth

Labor markets are changing dramatically due to advances in technology, industrial transformation, expansion of the services sector, and demographic shifts. That means 930 million workers in the Asia-Pacific region will have to adapt their skills or forge new careers. The combined effects of structural economic shifts and technological transformation are driving the Foundation’s emerging focus on workforce development, expanding workers’ digital skills, and STEM education. Through our Future of Work framework, we work with policymakers, employers, and workers to ensure Asia’s digital economies are inclusive, connected, and support people’s livelihoods.
