On the eve of a transformational transition toward an AI-driven economy, we must capture the opportunity to create new employment pathways and quality jobs to drive economic mobility at scale and pursue prosperity more equitably.
​

• Workers will continue entering the workforce through independent work or self-employment, leading to more fragmented pathways into employment. 
  ​​

• "Entry-level" roles will increasingly include people who are changing careers, re-entering the workforce, or moving into new industries later in life.
   

• New skills requirements will require a change in education systems focused on workforce readiness, including via work-integrated learning and career navigation.

​

• Companies are rethinking organizational structures through capability-based models of recruitment and talent development.
   

• Rather than tenure and linear hierarchical advancement, organizations will need to offer more fluid systems of work, reward, and opportunity.
   

• The lasting evolution in employee/employer relationships will necessitate the rethinking of benefits and the supporting infrastructure around workers.
   

• ​Career mosaics will take hold based on project work and continuous personalized skills development. 
   

• New business models are emerging, and AI will reshape the value workers can deliver and how they get rewarded for it (including via new ownership structures). ​
