Opening Talk
summary
The talk presents data showing the pandemic sped up structural change in work: monitoring projects about 4 million jobs shifting by 2040 (≈5.3M lost, 3.6M new) and home office levels around 30–35%, citing SAP’s example of 95% remote across 160 countries. It reviews policy tools used (Kurzarbeit, a new qualification law, and an observatory using OECD/LinkedIn data) and calls for urgent action: a large reskilling drive, new middle‑management leadership, improved workplace health rules, pragmatic and faster AI adoption, and closing the 21% female representation gap in AI talent.
