An insightful #IndiaAIImpactSummit session on AI’s impact on jobs. While automation risks exist, the real story is augmentation—AI automates tasks, not entire occupations.

Can #trade agreements create better #jobs?
The EU-India trade deal has the potential to boost growth, wages and #Employment but only if trade policies are aligned with #skills development, labour market policies & sustainable enterprises.

In many emerging economies, growth hasn’t led to enough decent jobs. Pro-employment macro policies-where fiscal & monetary tools boost labour demand—can drive structural transformation & make jobs central to development.

Emerging economies like #India face a double challenge: grow fast & create decent jobs.
The new Employment in Focus article highlights how pro-employment macro policies- strategic spending, job multipliers, & labour-aware monetary frameworks- can deliver inclusive development.

#BSManthan | #AI will augment #jobs rather than replace them, say experts at BS Manthan, highlighting the need for upskilling and policy support to maximise productivity and employment growth.

Based on ASI data on registered firms from 2000-16 @Radhicka & Krishnapriya note importance of older, larger firms in creating manufacturing jobs. Policies should promote entry of new medium-sized plants & growth of dynamic, incumbent small & medium firms ideasforindia.in/topics/prod…

One way to create jobs for both women & men is to invest in the care economy. This will Recognise, Reduce and Redistribute women's unpaid care work, free up time for paid work & leisure. Care economy = lab intensive green jobs. I write for ICPP.

Very interesting piece on promoting equal norms for childcare. A great example of institutionalised childcare support is Germany's "kita" system, where parents can leave their toddlers during the day. This enables #women's participation in the #workforce!
