Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a key economic sector and generator of jobs and may be considered the backbone of the digital economy across all sectors. In many countries, the global ICT sector is facing a shortage of skilled ICT workers. A lack of skilled labour will constrain future growth and job creation in the sector, but with the right policies in place, the digital economy could make a significant contribution to advancing decent work and inclusive economic growth at the global, regional and national levels. This report is the first outcome of the ILO development cooperation project entitled “The Future of Work in Information and Communication Technology”. The global research project focuses on anticipated needs for skilled workers and strategies for addressing labour shortages, including the scaling up of investments in ICT education and training, and more efficient management of ICT specialist migration flows. This report helps us gain a more comprehensive understanding of the most critical aspects of the future of work in ICT by assessing how technological changes, employment, skills development and migration in India, Indonesia and Thailand may be interrelated.

Skills for Green Jobs in Bangladesh

The major challenge of the labour market in Bangladesh is that the economy needs to grow progressively in line with the 7th Five-Year Plan (FYP) target of raising the average annual growth rate to 7.4 per cent from its current 6 per cent in order to absorb all the additional labour force, including many of the underemployed, in about 15 years (by 2030). According to the 7th FYP, this growth will be inclusive, pro-poor, and environmentally sustainable. The economy needs to attain job-rich growth, with high employment growth being achieved along with high output growth. This is a great challenge because of the recent experiences of (i) manufacturing, in which employment growth has exceeded output growth, and (ii) construction, in which employment growth has been negative despite positive output growth. This requires a genuine structural transformation of the economy through much more diversified growth in general and manufacturing in particular. A major challenge is to raise labour productivity and wages in manufacturing. Separate strategies are needed for both the employed and the self-employed.

Greening initiatives in some leading economic sectors indicate that the Chinese government is making great strides in shifting the country’s economic development to a more sustainable path. China’s green development and green transition will inevitably affect demand for labour. New jobs demand a workforce equipped with new skills. Other workers need to be re-trained and re-skilled to adopt greener practices in their work. But the lack of a clear green skills provision mechanism and policy framework are recognized as a major bottleneck in China’s green transition.

With an ecological footprint double its biocapacity it is imperative for a country like India to be able to sustain the well-being of its people and natural capital. Hence the current need to bring about economic reforms that steer India in the direction of a green economy. The transition to green and inclusive economies has been long deliberated and initiated at both national and global levels; however, the current domestic and international landscape has created an opportune moment to accelerate it. India has recently made two major global commitments: the 2030 Global Development Agenda (popularly known as the Sustainable Development Goals) and ratification of the Paris Agreement which aims for the holistic well-being of all, today and in the future, without surpassing the natural boundary limits of the environment. India has also made some landmark changes to its approach of development. Some of these include fiscal federalism, and a move from a fiveyear planning model to a fifteenyear development planning model at national level. In this era of reflections, promises and commitments relating to sustainable development and climate change, the green economy concept is an exciting approach that interlinks economic growth with human development and environmental sustainability.
