REPLAY · Surviving Job Darwinism: Adaptability in Today's Job Market (ft. Sir Christopher Pissarides, 2010 Nobel Prize in Economics)

Episode notes

This episode was first aired on 18/11/2021 What is the impact of technological change on employment? When it comes to skills and jobs, adaptability quotient (AQ) can have a massive impact on your career, in comparison to intellectual (IQ) and emotional (EQ) quotients. Especially as workers must change and evolve to keep pace with technologies. So, how individuals make their way through employment opportunities? In this new episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua investigates our ability to survive in a labour market that is poised to be revolutionized by technology. Key themes such as the evolution of job sectors, the role of government policies in addressing societal needs, and the shifting dynamics of job hierarchies are expertly dissected. From the necessity of social skills in service-oriented industries to the growing demand for adaptable professionals in the digital age, the episode offers a comprehensive analysis of the contemporary job landscape. As the conversation deepens, Kokou is joined by Professor Sir Christopher Pissarides, 2010 Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics.
