SESSION 6) Future of Work and Social Welfare 


Innovation and new technologies are expediting digital transformation and automation, giving rise to a new set of jobs and new forms of employment as well as displacing the conventional jobs. This new work environment requires reskilling and upskilling of workers across the board and can prove to be harsh on the lowskilled, unskilled and the vulnerable. While those highly skilled are rewarded with more and better benefits, the vulnerable are bearing the brunt of the widening inequities and income gap. The COVID-19 pandemic is spurring the trend, undermining social cohesion and stability, thus calling for adequate social welfare for those left behind, including reskilling and upskilling. Government alone cannot tackle the jobs and social welfare adjustment; it needs to be done in close collaboration with labor and employers. It inevitably involves the legislature for enactment and revision of relevant laws. A successful labor reform requires an adequate social welfare reform as in the case of Germany's Hartz Labor Reform. 


SUB) Welfare and Finance Reform Roundtable 


Reduction of transaction costs through digital technology has enabled aggressive outsourcing and platform profitability, resulting in an increase in externalization of employment. Mechanization of production has altered and reduced traditional jobs. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the self-employed and vulnerable while boosting the digital economy. In this time of great transition, what should employment and social welfare look like? How can we increase the competitiveness of the national economy while creating a sustainable cycle of employment and welfare? What form should the labor-management relation take? What can we learn from a country that balances economic growth and welfare?
