To promote a workforce system that works for everyone, we advocate for improved policy and employer approaches, complementing what we learn from in-country programs with research and data insights that can inform policymakers, employers, funders, and other workforce programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

AI at Work: A Global Entry-Level Perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the global debate about how AI will affect entry-level roles, there is consensus that AI will reshape the workplace, although the how and when are still up for debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We surveyed more than 5,500 Generation alumni to get their perspective on AI in the workplace. These workers, about evenly split between men and women, span 17 countries and are employed in 40 professions across healthcare, customer service, tech, green jobs, and skilled trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This survey presents a view into how they are experiencing AI at work, with an opportunity to hear from voices that have been missing from the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tLearn more \n <\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Rural America Is Ready for Remote Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our noisy debates about remote work, a big segment of the population is being overlooked\u2014rural Americans. Midcareer and older workers are a growing portion of the labor force, but they are more likely to struggle with long-term unemployment. For them remote work is an opportunity for access to a job market that otherwise seems set to leave people behind.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more, we surveyed more than 500 individuals aged 45 or older who reside in rural areas across 17 US states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tLearn more \n <\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Age-Proofing AI: Enabling an intergenerational workforce to benefit from AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the AI revolution fully underway, we are all eager to understand what the future holds for the workforce, particularly for one of the fastest-growing age groups in the labor market: midcareer and older workers. How will they navigate these changes? New Generation research in the US and Europe explores how workers over the age of 45 might fare in the age of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tLearn more \n <\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Launching a Tech Hiring Revolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help address this critical challenge, we launched what we believe is the most comprehensive global survey to date of entry-level tech talent. Participants included more than 2,600 jobseekers, another 1,275 jobholders already in tech roles and 1,325 tech and non-tech companies, spanning eight countries: Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tLearn more \n <\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Midcareer Opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The world of work is getting older, with profound implications for the labor market, government finances, healthcare and welfare systems, and millions of midcareer workers. The OECD and Generation teamed up to survey thousands of hiring managers, employed, and unemployed people across Europe, the UK, and the US. The resulting report reveals unfounded but deep-seated ageism, explores barriers and enablers to career success, and lays out the steps that business, policymakers, and midcareer and older workers themselves can take now to navigate our transition to a more digital and sustainable world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tLearn more \n <\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Meeting the world\u2019s midcareer moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For midcareer workers everywhere, the diverging paths ahead are especially stark: if we choose to recognize the talents of this group and help them adapt to workplace disruptions, we can prosper together. But if we stick with the status quo, a bad situation will only get worse. That is the key takeaway from a global survey\u2014the first of its kind\u2014to provide an in-depth view of individuals aged 45-65 seeking or working in entry-level and intermediate roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tLearn more \n <\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
