Unlike previous industrial revolutions in which education, training and labour markets adapted to technology advances over time, the 4th Industrial Revolution commands an urgent response.

A clear strategy is needed to prepare for this future, with specific policy responses for issues such as adjustment and re-employment of workers; concerns about digital exclusion; and more broadly an understanding of what skills will be required and how they will be developed.
