Last week I had the opportunity to lead a session on Future of Work (FoW) organized by Plan India as part of the Y20, G20 Initiative. It was a pleasure to meet such great young minds from across the country.

The focus of the discussion revolved around the Y20 India White Paper 2023. The key theme was driven by the fact that young people across the globe are regarded as having a more innovative mindset in addition to their desire to adopt advanced technologies to make work more convenient and efficient. In order to increase the rate of overall development of the youth, a significant financial investment, along with a suitable platform for exhibiting their ideas is a requisite. Taking these aspects into consideration, Y20 India has included the theme “Future of Work: Industry 4.0, innovation and 21st Century Skills” along with relevant sub-themes with an aim to increase the scope of discussion on important aspects.

There is an array of sub-themes that fall under the broader theme, in order to encapsulate all aspects of technology considerations as well as the traditional industrial strategy. Additionally, concepts like the gig economy and growth through collaboration are also included. The idea is to bring more clarity on what ideas are working, what needs improvement, and what should be continued in the future. The Y20 engagement provided a space for young people to express their opinions on global challenges through informed discussion and collaboration. The aim of the session was to incorporate the youthful perspectives into the global agenda, with the aim of being promoted and acted upon by the G20 members.  During the session the three broad themes under FoW covered included:

1. Preparing the Workforce through the Principle of Unlearn, Relearn & Reskill -

2. Gig Economy: The New Age Industry

3. Catalysing the Start-up Ecosystem

 

Interestingly the youth of today was very informed and provided very relevant recommendations on all the three topics.

For all the readers the session which was telecasted live on Youtube and the same can be found in the link below:
