World Economic Forum - Four futures for jobs in the new economy: AI and Talent in 2030

The World Economic Forum published a white paper in January 2025 on 'Four futures for jobs in the new economy: AI and Talent in 2030.

It is a short report - just 20 plus pages. 

The report is based on their annual survey of 10,000 executives (globally).

The scenarios are:

- Supercharged progress

- The age of displacement

- Co-pilot economy

- stalled progress

Each is presented and discussed and as usual, there is no right/correct way through, but perhaps a combination. National and social imperatives - including workforce readiness, actual progress of digital and AI technologies, political environment etc. will dictate national, regional and global effects.

For education, it will still be a time of rapid change. Whether education can keep up is dependent on many variables including capability, capacity, resourcing and future vision. Best to keep moving along with building capability as all innovations will be founded on human interactions and reactions.
