The CSIS Project on Prosperity and Development (PPD) would like to share a new CSIS microsite (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-us-leadership-development/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789) containing a short video, a two-volume report, four country case studies and more on The Future of Global Stability: The World of Work in Developing Countries.

CSIS, through generous joint-support by Chevron and the Royal Danish Embassy in Washington D.C., has conducted a research project that assesses the future of work in a set of developing countries, going beyond technological disruptions. The research and analysis make the case why the United States has a stake in the future of work and present a set of policy recommendations to better prepare the future workforce in developing countries.

CSIS conducted desk research, carried out four country case studies (Brazil (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-us-leadership-development/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global-1?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789) , India (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-us-leadership-development/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global-2?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789) , Kazakhstan (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-us-leadership-development/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global-4?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789) , and Nigeria (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-us-leadership-development/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global-3?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789) ), and convened a high-level taskforce (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-us-leadership-development/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global-5?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789) to inform the discussion. The insights and findings contained in the two-volume final report are drawn mainly from qualitative research. This CSIS study is a complement to other research efforts on the topic. CSIS value-added relies on original research
based on in-person interviews, access to high-level experts, and a new take on the topic.

Volume 1 (https://www.csis.org/analysis/volume-1-national-security-priority-united-states?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789) of the report
focuses on the changes taking place in the world of work in developing countries and explores their implications for the national security of the United States and future global stability. Volume 2 (https://www.csis.org/analysis/volume-2-developing-country-trends-and-insights-four-country-case-studies?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789) presents a summary of the future of work discussion in developing countries and provides insights from the four country case studies.

Here are the five main takeaways:
* Economies need to generate meaningful jobs for their citizens, and their education systems need to prepare new generations of workers. If economies do not produce enough good jobs and if institutions do not prepare the workforce for the current and future needs of the labor market, national, regional and global stability will be compromised.
* The pace of technological adoption in developing countries overall will be slow; jobs will change but not disappear due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
* By 2030, there will be more than 3 billion people under the age of 25, mostly in Africa, Asia and MENA. They will need jobs.
* Most governments fail to prepare the workforce for today and the future. The private sector is taking the lead, re-skilling workers.
* The combination of technology, demographic changes and informality in developing countries need to be properly managed.

In addition, CSIS recently released a new episode (https://www.csis.org/podcasts/building-future-freedom-prosperity-and-foreign-policy-dan-runde/future-global-stability?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9dff8af658-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9dff8af658-145367789)  on the Building the Future with Dan Runde podcast series featuring Romina Bandura that discusses the report and the future of work in the countries CSIS studied.
