This white paper offers a policy framework to support effective job transitions, focusing on four essential pillars: (1) Reskilling and upskilling for emerging opportunities, (2) Improving employee-employer matching, (3) Worker safety nets, and (4) Multistakeholder collaboration to overcome industry barriers.
It also includes an analysis of job transitions based on data from 14 countries across seven major global regions. For each region, it identifies specific job transitions that are not only feasible and frequent but also lead to higher wages and improved standards of living. The paper features case studies that demonstrate the potential for public-private partnerships to facilitate successful job transitions.
