| Abstract | "This book provides a clear roadmap for the roles that workers and leaders in business, labor, education and government must play in building a new social contract for all to prosper. It is a call to action for a collaborative effort to develop both high-quality jobs and strong, successful businesses, while simultaneously overcoming the deep social and economic divisions that are all too apparent in society today. Written by two leading and trusted experts in the field of employment and work from MIT and Cornell University, this book is a practical-action oriented guide. Readers will feel empowered to take actions needed to shape a better future of work for themselves, their employees, their co-workers, and others they may represent. It emphasizes the need to dismantle existing social contracts and reimagine a new one, with the goal of lifelong learning. Most of all, the book goes beyond the many reports and articles that emphasize predictions about how technology and other forces will shape work in the future. The book is essential reading for business executives, labor leaders and workforce advocates, government policy makers, politicians and anyone interested in putting emerging knowledge and technologies to use in driving innovation, creating high quality jobs, and shaping a more broadly shared prosperity"-- Provided by publisher. |
