The Future of Work

About this episode

Life has changed in many ways in the year since the pandemic hit. Countless millions have been forced to work from home, offices have closed, livelihoods have disappeared and videoconferencing and online shopping have made huge inroads into everyday life. What will be the long term impact on the world of work?

Katya Adler explores the future of work with a high level panel facing questions from the public around the world. What will stay changed, what will happen next and what will we miss from the way things were?

The panel: Nicolas Schmit: EU Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights Molly Kinder: David M. Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Programme Manish Bahl: Senior Director, Centre for the Future of Work at Cognizant, Asia Pacific Ivan Petrella: Former Director of Argentina 2030. Fellow of the Center for Internet and Society – Harvard University
