Description
Session Chair: Ms Signe Riisalo, Minister of Social Protection, Vice-Chair of the Ministerial Meeting (Estonia)
The crisis has affected the progression of structural changes driven by digitalisation, the transition to a low-carbon economy and globalisation. The pandemic has also underscored the higher risk of job loss and long-term unemployment amongst adults in low-skill and low-wage occupations, as well as amongst adults with low digital skills. This session will focus on policies to equip individuals for a post-crisis labour market.
• How can adult education and training measures, as well as activation measures more widely, be designed and implemented in a way that benefits those with jobs at risk and low digital skills? What good practices can you share?
• How does your government support individuals at risk of job loss before it has occurred? To what extent do the measures in place facilitate workers’ reallocation from declining to growing and more sustainable jobs?
• What is the role of employers and social partners in facilitating workers’ training and informal on-the-job learning? How can they facilitate job transitions in co-operation with other institutions?
