I am the Future of Work

The way we learn, work and live is
changing faster than we even realise.
How does it affect you?

At the OECD, we can help young people to make sense of the public debates on jobs and learning. Through this platform, our goal is to give you the tools to understand these issues and the means to contribute to the conversation.

If you are between 15 and 30, whatever your current situation or background may be, share your insights with us by taking the survey. Your opinions will reach those who are shaping tomorrow’s world of work. Understanding your expectations and hearing your ideas will help us to design better policies.
