The knowledge economy has had a profound impact on US business and industry over the past few decades, leading to significant changes in the workplace and the nature of work. The workforce has evolved, and many jobs require skills and competencies that differ from those of previous generations. This has raised concerns about whether human capital accumulation in the United States can keep pace with the evolving demands placed on it.
Education, Skills, and Technical Change is a comprehensive volume that explores these issues and provides an overview of educational attainment in the United States and the channels through which labor force skills and education affect GDP growth. The contributors to this volume focus on a range of educational and training institutions and bring new data to bear on how we understand the role of college and vocational education and the size and nature of the skills gap.
The work links a range of research areas, such as growth accounting, skill development, higher education, and immigration, and examines how well students are being prepared for the current and future world of work. The volume also discusses the challenges and opportunities that arise from the changing nature of work, including the need for lifelong learning and the role of technology in skill development.
Overall, Education, Skills, and Technical Change is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of work and the role of education in preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
