under construction - micro-transcript of above video
josephine teo singapore  : 2 decades ago , singapore started focusing on continuous education/learning; in 2015 nationwide skills future movement ownership lifelong learning- over last 12 months employers big role- people more motivated if they can see how put new skills to wiok- eg our finance sector mapped all job roles in sector asked how ai etc would change sector in 3 years- thousands of people reskilled - transformed tillers into digital capabilities - employers win-win when train rather than headhunt- get business transformation and upskill every type of work -  
question -what can other countries learn from you? - 1)-need to try best to save every worker's future - long tail focus needed on those with low digital skill now- new incentives for displaced workers to growing sectors; transiting to gov schemes that hiring those changing over-
- 2) cant rely solely on employers- but must prevent mismatch of individuals training up- professional conversion program - tailored to this looking at 30 sectors in changing job roles - 7/10  who changed got higher wages- importance gov smart on this
 -question - gender equality- we need to work on culture - girls need right role models on stem-- even so big question on care giving - is your society ready to demand males do more on care giving?
========================
salil parekh infosys  india-you look at lead edge of india tech skilling- make sure every employee has access - expand to clients- expands to engineering students- 
platform lex over 1000 courses used by over 300k employees and similar number of employees of top 30 partnering clients- original focus on engineering courses but now have second branch creative design skills
 now free version to be used by million of students  - question you have  unique capacity to scale- are you collab with gov on this; answer our objective make it available as much as it needs to be used at any gov level - we have started with every student- can cluster by skills demand that eg gov can specify - eventually anyone scan use - question do your ideas apply to non-engineering sectr- its a critical question - our 2 foci tech, design and visualisation - this is small but growing area for us-  society will need other platforms than our foci .. need to see examples round world on this
========================
d pradhan minister petroleum/  india's challenge skilling people entering workforce- in india 25 mn new people joining workforce every year; how - new edu policy2020- reskilling, upskilling - pandemic opportunity - new skilling opportunity - digital fintech expanding as sectors - needs skilled workforce;  q is gov :"skillindia" keeping up with edtech? -trying to create public momentum-  india example- leading telecentre to calafornia e-- service sectors
========================
alain dehaze addeco  (hq switzerland world number 2 human resourcefirm)
 -worlds largest recruiter view - active in 56+ countries- helping 2 million find job - alain says crucial individual employers gov tripartite engagemnt specific choices - individuals need to stay attractive on labor market- you lose 40% of skills every 3 years- thats why lifelong learining call individual- we tell emploters not to protect jobs but invest in emplyability- skills needed 3-5 years time - add study skill up a person in ft sech 35k cost whereas 100k tolayoff and headhunt; gov need to put incentives in place- sigapore is a best case- need different accounting treatment of skilling as investment- we see many countries spening huge amount of money on local economies but as short-term instead of reskilling -question to adhow do we ensure equality of motivation to reskill- it goes back to the system of the triadi described; eg system must be capable of helping indinviduals trasfer across sectrs- - some sectors will be seeing maive layoffs - thats reason why system of indiv-v - yes triad system needs custimisation to give women advantage

gr geneva ilo - low skilled doing badly- hi-tech doing well - biggest risk coming out of crisis even more unequal

from global shaper hub in italy - is the responsibility on ndividual or on gov  -ilo mutual responsibility - we are only in foothills of lifelong learning looks like - will need real investment - complementary triadresponsibilitoes individual, employer gov, upskilling depends on employer taking longer-ter appreoach to emplyees

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 12 November 2016 – The inaugural Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils opens Sunday in Dubai, bringing together more than 700 experts from around the world to generate ideas and solutions to prepare the world for the challenges and opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

With experts comprising leading figures from global business and academia, public figures and heads of international organizations, the meeting’s focus on future preparedness will address a wide range of topics, from game-changing emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, to “systemic” challenges such as the future of the environment, economic growth and cities.

“As the Fourth Industrial Revolution picks up speed, we must develop new and creative ways of driving economic growth, bringing our communities together and fostering cooperation to tackle the challenges we face head on as a shared humanity,” said Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum.

“His Excellency Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and The Future and Co-Chair of the Annual Meeting of Global Future Councils, said: “Our region has played a major role in shaping the future of the world for centuries. Today, the forward thinking and vision of our leadership have succeeded in positioning the UAE as a hotbed for innovation, where planning for the future is at the very core of Government. This makes the UAE the ideal destination to host the inaugural Global Future Councils, which strive to find and implement real solutions for the challenges of the future, and flag future opportunities that we can all benefit from. Through this partnership with the World Economic Forum, the UAE is creating a platform where we can share our future-focused approach with our international partners.”

In addition to generating ideas to tackle challenges and seize opportunities, outcomes from the discussions of the 35 Councils meeting in Dubai will shape the programme of the 47th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, in January 2017.

The meeting in Dubai will see a high level of collaboration between the Forum and the Government of the United Arab Emirates. The country will be represented on each of the 35 Councils, ensuring that knowledge and ideas captured during the meeting are directly channelled into projects to prepare for the future. The United Arab Emirates is also contributing to a special workshop on future preparedness, which is being held on Monday 14 November.
