Labor law developments, regulations and policies were discussed at the first International Labor Market Conference in Saudi Arabia.
In this edition of Spotlight, we traveled to the International Labor Market Conference (GLMC) in Riyadh, an event dedicated to developing innovative solutions to address the key challenges of today’s labor market.
This conference focused on the means necessary for a better understanding of labor market trends and the evolution of labor law. It also focused on regulations, policies and programs that will secure the future of the workforce and workplaces.
This event led to discussions on the consequences of new technologies on labor markets and the global workforce. Topics covered included AI and whether it will escape the productivity challenge, where innovative technologies are not delivering expected productivity gains, and how we can overcome the global skills gaps that the AI emphasizes.
Demographic questions of the labor market were also at the center of the debates, with participants wondering about ways to integrate the new generation as well as older workers into the labor market and how to maintain them.
