The skills gap is set to widen unless there are systematic ways to address it. We see eight actions to take now.
Today’s tight market for data science and analytics (DSA) skills involves data scientists, but it extends much further to existing job classifications from the C-suite to frontlines—all of which are increasingly enabled by analytics. More...

L'automatisation ne pose pas de scénario de fin du monde pour les emplois au Canada, suggère un nouveau rapport de l’Institut C.D. Howe. Dans « Le choc du futur? Les répercussions de l'automatisation sur le marché du travail au Canada », les auteurs Matthias Oschinski et Rosalie Wyonch estiment qu'un changement radical dans l'emploi au Canada dû à l'automatisation est peu probable dans un avenir proche, bien que certains secteurs d’activités et des professions particulières connaîtront davantage de perturbations que d’autres.

In a policy brief ahead of this year’s G20 summit in Germany, Oxford Martin Citi Fellow Carl Frey has outlined the changes needed to make ‘the digital revolution work for many’ when it comes to jobs and growth.
The brief forms part of the Oxford Martin School’s contribution to the Think 20 (T20) Group, a network of organisations chosen to provide expert policy advice to the G20. The School is contributing to the work of two task forces: one on the digital economy and one on social cohesion and inequality. More...
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than sixty-five million U.S. residents speak a language other than English at home—a number that has been growing decade by decade since the 1970s. Nevertheless, that number represents only 20.7 percent of the total population, and only a fraction of this cohort speaks, reads, and comprehends a second language well enough to use it in their everyday lives.2 The vast majority of American citizens remain monolingual.
While English continues to be the lingua franca for world trade and diplomacy, there is an emerging consensus among leaders in business and politics, teachers, scientists, and community members that proficiency in English is not sufficient to meet the nation’s needs in a shrinking world, nor the needs of individual citizens who interact with other peoples and cultures more than at any other time in human history.

The work of the ESF Member Organisation Forum on Research Integrity together with ALLEA produced the consensus document “The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity”, launched at the Second World Conference on Research Integrity held in July 2010. The code addresses good practice and bad conduct in science, offering a basis for trust and integrity across national borders.
This Europe-wide code offers a reference point for all researchers, complementing existing codes of ethics and complying with national and European legislative frameworks. It is not intended to replace existing national or academic guidelines, but represents agreement across 30 countries on a set of principles and priorities for self-regulation of the research community. It provides a possible model for a global code of conduct for all research. More...
