Global Labor Market conference

Official account of the Global Labor Market Conference — advancing labor insights, policy dialogue & innovation.

The global conversation on labor is running on a broken script. For too long, policy has relied on comfortable assumptions that contradict the data.

The What Works for Work report synthesizes global evidence to reveal the uncomfortable truths behind what actually drives results.

The global labor market is witnessing a profound structural mismatch:
1.2 billion young people are entering the workforce, but only 400 million jobs are expected to be created.

The issue isn't a lack of access; it’s a failure of alignment. By bridging the gap, we don't just solve a mismatch—we unlock a $6.5 trillion opportunity.

Your job title is becoming obsolete. (And that’s a good thing.)

Hiring is being rebuilt, and most people haven’t noticed yet. We are moving toward a "Liquid Labor Market" where what you can do matters more than the title you once held.

If skills are fluid and transferable, why are our hiring systems still locked in the past?

A growing share of graduates are preparing for jobs that may never come.

60% are in fields the market doesn’t need. This isn’t a talent gap. It’s misalignment.

At GLMC 2026, leaders pointed to a clear shift.

The labor market is moving faster than our ability to define it.

From AI evolving into a social partner to the rise of task-based contributions, the traditional 9-to-5 is deconstructing in real-time.

As careers fragment and the "linear path" disappears, we must ask: Are our institutions ready for the Post-Job era?

The system called it the shadow economy. For over 60% of the global workforce, it is simply the economy.

Speaking with @Bloomberg at #GLMC2026, Dr. Ahmad Al-Yamani, CEO of @TakamolHolding, makes the case for why the way we think about work, degrees, formal employment, and protection systems, needs a complete rethink.

يُطلق عليه رسميًا «الاقتصاد الموازي»، لكن لأكثر من ٦٠٪ من العاملين حول العالم، هو اقتصادهم اليومي.

وفي حديثه مع @Bloomberg خلال #GLMC2026، يطرح د. أحمد اليماني، الرئيس التنفيذي لـ @TakamolHolding، دعوةً لإعادة النظر جذريًا في مفاهيم العمل، والشهادات، والعمل الرسمي، ومنظومات الحماية الاجتماعية.

What if $1/day could change someone’s career path?

In Ethiopia, a $1 transport subsidy helped jobseekers reach employment centers—and increased formal employment.

No training. No grants. Just removing one barrier.

2,000,000,000 إنسان. هذا هو حجم التحدّي العالمي الذي تواجهه الوظائف.

في #GLMC2026، استحدثنا أكثر من 100 حلّ مُثبت في مجال التوظيف لتمكين صنّاع السياسات من اتّخاذ إجراءات ملموسة.

In a labor market that moves fast, every word counts.

At #GLMC2026, we asked attendees to finish the sentence, and their responses revealed what’s hopeful, what’s challenging, and what’s next.

At #GLMC2026, the mic kept moving.

From policymakers to practitioners, ideas traveled fast, questions evolved, and the conversation took shape in real time.

No scripts. No set speeches. Just an inspiring chain of voices.
