Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has said India’s G20 agenda will be inclusive, ambitious, action-oriented, and decisive, establishing a presidency of healing, harmony, and hope.

Automation and ground-breaking technological advancements are fundamentally changing the nature of work in more than one way. Trends such as demographic transitions and technological changes such as Industry 4.0, Web 3.0, and extended reality technology bring immense possibilities that will forever change lives. This would imply significant workplace transformations and changes in the future of work that would be beyond human imagination. And to thrive in this new ‘World of Work,’ it is vital that skilling stakeholders comprehend these new trends and capacitate the existing education and skilling ecosystems.

Therefore, basis the announcements made in the ongoing discussions in the G20 Education Working Group 2023, the key takeaways about the future of the work are as follows and we seek ideas and suggestions from the public and other stakeholders on the same:

• The G20 Education Working Group has deliberated on pathways to make technology-enabled learning more inclusive, qualitative, and collaborative at every level.
• With the rise of automation across industries, it is imperative to mainstream foundational skills into the curriculum framework and facilitate dynamic learning over the life cycle to not only effectively measure the learning outcomes but also ensure people keep pace with the current factors of change. Education stakeholders must collaborate and focus on strengthening the foundational learning framework by leveraging technology and blended learning to ensure that students are equipped with the necessities for the future.
• The future of work is driven by the rising awareness of decarbonization and building a sustainable business, and the G20 countries recognise the importance of collective action in tackling environmental challenges as well as promoting transitions towards more flexible, transparent, and cleaner energy systems.

Foster collaboration between education and industry: To prepare the workforce for the future, it is essential to have close collaboration between educational institutions and industry. This could include internships, apprenticeships, and other forms of experiential learning. Promote diversity and inclusion: The future of work will require a diverse and inclusive workforce. India needs to create policies that promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace, such as affirmative action programs and anti-discrimination laws.

1)Encourage lifelong learning: India needs to promote a culture of continuous learning, where individuals are encouraged to upgrade their skills throughout their career. This can be done by offering incentives for upskilling, reskilling and lifelong learning, such as tax credits or access to training programs. 2)Invest in digital infrastructure: The pandemic has shown that digital infrastructure is crucial for remote work and other forms of employment. India needs to invest in high-speed internet, digital literacy, and other technologies to support the future of work. 3)Support entrepreneurship and gig work: The future of work is likely to include more gig work and entrepreneurship. India needs to create policies that support these forms of employment, such as access to capital, legal protection, and social security benefits.

At the age of 30, having spent over a decade in the informal economy, she came across a healthcare skill development centre. The centre offered her training, certification and placed her at a home care agency where she started earning INR 16,000 per month. Six months later, Riya loves her work and only wishes that she had known about this course when she was younger.

Adopting automation and cloud technologies can undergird India’s transition to a hybrid or remote working model, while also unleashing the potential of Industry 4.0. Improving digital literacy, supporting disadvantaged workers, establishing robust infrastructure, and imparting skills can help workers transition into new technology-aided roles.

Indians are also more likely to want to work completely from home than other countries, with 83 per cent of employees in India still nervous about going back to the office. The adoption of technology by businesses has also been slow or not aligned with the latest advancements. Furthermore, there are few measures to reskill and train employees for using these technologies.

According to ‘The Future of Work is Now: Is APAC Ready?’ report commissioned by Autodesk Foundation, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are least prepared for the coming wave of automation and the most at risk of losing jobs to it. India ranks 5th in terms of risk and 9th in preparedness. The risk is highest in industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, which are labour-intensive.

The last couple of years have marked the intersection of two of the most important trends to redefine the future of work: working from anywhere, and automation. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of automation across the world, as organisations try to manage remote workforces and worker proximity issues.

Workers should also be more aware of external factors affecting their work. Corruption also in private sector. Workers should elect various committees in the companies they work for. In factories or establishments employing more than 100 workers, committee members should be elected through compulsory election Corruption in the private sector is also a factor that can affect the employment of workers.Committees are the perfect opportunity to monitor the progress of workers' administrations. ICorruption will be reduced only when the conduct of administrations is regularly monitored through committees.Only when constructive discussions arise on the part of workers can the anxiety about the future of work be alleviated.Workers should be well aware of the details of government laws, schemes and policies.It is the duty of the workers to urge the government to amend or waive any government law, scheme, etc. which disturbs their work, the companies they work for and their sector.
