Description

This report is a call to action for wide-scale upskilling. It provides a quantitative analysis of the impact upskilling can have on economic growth. Gross domestic product (GDP) has been used for this analysis because it is the most widely used economic measure today. But GDP does not tell the full story. That is why the research is complemented with a qualitative analysis that looks at the need for new economic thinking underpinned by the development of good jobs – work that is safe, paid fairly, reasonably secure and motivating, and that emphasizes the uniquely human skills and traits of workers, thus delivering higher levels of productivity.
