MIT REPORT - The Work of the Future: Shaping Technology and Institutions
Title of report:
The work of the future: shaping technology and institutions
Published by:
MIT's Task Force on the Work of the Future, Fall 2019 Report
From the report:
MIT President Rafael Reif convened the MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future in the spring of 2018. Its goals are to understand the relationships between emerging technologies and work, and to explore strategies to enable a future of shared prosperity. The Task Force is co-chaired by Professors David Autor and David Mindell, with Dr Elisabeth Reynolds as Executive Director; its members include more than twenty faculty drawn from twelve departments, as well as a dozen graduate students. The Task Force has also been advised by boards of key stakeholders from industry, academia, education, labor and pilanthropy. For the past year, the Task Force has been working to bring grounded, empirical understanding and insight into the ongoing debate about what is occurring today and what we can expect in the next decade.
Alarmist rhetoric animates today's public conversation about technology and work: Robots are taking our jobs. AI will mean the end of work. Three-fourths of all jobs will be automated. Prepare for mass unemployment. Robots can't take your job if you're retired.
These forecasts may be unduly grim, but they reflect valid underlying concerns. Technological and economic shifts are created social pain in wide swaths of industrialized economies. The last four decades of U.S. history showed that even if technological advances deliver rising productivity, there is no guarantee that the fruits of this bounty will reach the typical worker - and the uncertainty is greater still for women and minorities. These disccouraging facts may help to explain why, despite the tightest U.S. labor market in decades, a substantial majority of people believe that emerging technologies will magnify inequality and make high-paying jobs harder to fnd.
With these uncomfortable truths in mind, MIT's Task Force on the Work of the Future aims to identify a constructive path forward - grounded in evidence of what is happening today, deploying deep expertise in technology and the social sciences, and applying reasonable assumptions and extrapolations to anticipate what might happen tomorrow.
This report will not provide definitive answers, but instead aims to enable decision-makers to ask the right questions. Due to the urgency of the topic, we offer preliminary insights that may help to frame public debate and public policy as Task Force members conduct deeper analyses and deliver a final report.

Future Skills Report 2019
Title:
Future skills: the future of learning and higher education
Author:
Ulf-Daniel Ehlers (Prof.)
International Delphi Survey of the NextSkills Project, 2019
From the Key Findings (p.3):
"Research on future skills is the current hot topic of the day with fundamental changes in the job market due to a number of powerful drivers. While many studies focus on the changes brought through digital technologies, they relate future skills directly to digital skills, which - as important as they are - only represent one side of the future skill coin. The results presented from this Delphi survey are taking a broader approach and go beyond digital skill demands. the approach elaborates on an expert's informed vision of the future higher eduaction (HE), taking into account the demand for future skills, outlines the four signposts of change which will shape the learning revolution in higher education and presents a first model of future skills for future graduates.
It is part of an overarching research project on "next skills" (www.nextskills.org) and collates opinions from an international experts' panel of almost 50 experts from higher education and business. Experts were asked both, the degree of relevance, as well as the timeframe of adoption for future skills, future higher education scenarios and the driving pillars of change."
