About this listen
The pandemic has caused the loss of 255 million full-time jobs, or approximately four times greater than the number lost during the 2009 global financial crisis, according to the International Labour Organisation. That’s equivalent to $3.7 trillion in lost labour income.
The pandemic has not only disrupted the labour market, it also triggered many transitions and in some cases a deep transformation of working tasks and arrangements. What do job mismatches tell us about the labour market ?
What are the underlying trends that are shaping the future of work ?

Silja Baller , Insights Lead, Frontier Insights, the World Economic Forum
Lydia Boussour , Senior US Economist at Oxford Economics
