How to address the widening youth skills gap
The pandemic has deepened the existing youth skills gap, leaving millions of young people with inadequate access to employment opportunities. Global youth are redefining the concept of the workforce but need the necessary skills and support to make these changes. PwC, UNICEF and Generation Unlimited address this skilling challenge in their latest research paper, “Reaching YES” and urge all stakeholders to collaborate in creating opportunities for young people.
Read Progress And Peril On The Road To Net Zero Online
BY ROBERT E. MORITZ AND COLM KELLY THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE HARD. Reaching net zero, a state in which our global systems emit only as much carbon as they can absorb, will be the biggest collective action humanity has ever undertaken. After all, 84% of the world’s energy still comes from fossil fuels. Achieving net zero will require a full rewiring of the global economy.
How we are focusing on mental health - on World Mental Health Day and every day
For industries like ours, health and safety has always been crucially important, but it hasn’t had the prominence you see in sectors like construction or mining, where the risks people face are crystal clear every time they go on site. That pattern changed over the last year and a half as the pandemic spread and health became an overriding issue in every sector of the economy.
Now is the time for real action on sustainability reporting
Business leaders have welcomed the G7 and the G20 Finance Ministers' support for mandatory sustainability reporting. Consistent measurement of the risks associated with climate change will help companies and governments respond to the challenge. Companies need to act now to get adequate sustainability reporting processes in place.
This is what young people have to say about work and skills
We polled 11,000 young people around the world and spoke to a small group of them about the future of work and skills. Almost two-thirds are optimistic they will get the job they want. They say the pandemic has bolstered their resilience, but that today's education system is not giving them the skills they need. And that soft skills are just as important as technical abilities.

Here’s why training is crucial to drive the post-COVID recovery
Greater private-public collaboration on large-scale upskilling and reskilling initiatives could boost global GDP by $6.5 trillion and lead to the creation of 5.3 million net new jobs by 2030. Regions and economies that will see the biggest gains are those where the skills gaps are larger and there is the most potential to improve productivity. A year ago, no one could have anticipated how dramatically everything would change. The way we live. The way we work. The way children go to school.
It's time to change how we measure what makes a business successful
Economic and social progress has become decoupled, writes PwC Chairman Robert E. Moritz. A global standard for non-financial reporting is vital - and urgent - argues Moritz. Coupled with a broader view of value creation, this information will empower stakeholders as well as shareholders. For many decades market economies were an almost unalloyed force for good, lifting billions of people out of poverty, enhancing opportunity and quality of life, and increasing life expectancy and security.
Why reporting can be a force for social good - and where to start
Improved non-financial reporting is crucial to achieving necessary and systemic economic reform. Understanding an organization's environmental and social impacts is key for shareholders as well as stakeholders. PwC and the World Economic Forum have developed a list of metrics and disclosures companies can use to improve their ESG reporting. The market economy has evolved to meet the needs of society. But these days, the economy isn’t creating inclusive, sustainable outcomes for society.
How young people would like to redesign education and skills for a post-Covid era
Representational image | Photo: Manisha Mondal | ThePrint Text Size: For children and young people looking to gain education and skills, Covid-19 has made a bad situation even worse. Before the pandemic, they faced a growing mismatch between the skills they were learning in school and those needed for employment. Now, under the shadow of Covid-19, over one billion are out of school altogether. And millions of young people who were set to join the workforce cannot find jobs.
February 10-16, 2020 By Robert Moritz The Arkansas Judiciary is developing new guidelines to reduce the tremendous stress suffered during open court testimony by abused or allegedly abused children and looking to grow the number of veteran’s treatment programs in the state. The two initiatives are highlighted in the Arkansas Judiciary’s annual report, released in mid-January.
Is 2020 the year to turn to AR marketing?
Augmented Reality. It’s the stuff of science fiction, yet its use is increasingly prevalent in digital society - in fact, the AR market is currently estimated to be worth US$16.6 billion, growing to US$198 billion by 2025. Additionally, customers seem to prefer it: 71 percent of consumers would shop at a retail store more if it offered AR experiences. For marketers, AR has an enormous power, showing a brand’s point of difference and engaging consumers in a more modern way.
Are content producers going to be made redundant?
A third of New Zealand jobs could be automated in the next 20 years. This figure, from a 2018 Infometrics report, highlights why so many Kiwis are worried about their future in an AI-driven world. But creative roles aren’t under threat, are they? Turns out - yes. Let’s look at some of the new AI tech that suggests even content can be automated, and why this may not be a bad thing for producers.
How companies can lean in, too
As chairman and senior partner of PwC, I have closely followed the debate about Sheryl Sandberg's new book Lean In. Sandberg has brought renewed attention to the critical challenge of diversifying corporate leadership. While Sandberg focuses on inspiring women to embrace ambition, I believe business leaders have a responsibility to lean in as well. At PwC we're leaning in because we recognize that women and minorities cannot solve the leadership gap by themselves.
International Woman’s Day: Strategies to Find - and Keep - Female Talent
Today is International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate the many social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. But how do we keep the momentum going beyond today, and bring about real change in the way women work, are hired and progress in their careers? A new PwC report explores just that question. Winning the Fight for Talent examines gender-inclusive recruitment around the world.
Helping millennials climb the mountain of student debt
Last year's graduates entered the workforce owing an average of more than $35,000 -- nearly twice as much as those who graduated 20 years ago. As an organization that hired 11,000 new graduates from our nation’s college campuses last fiscal year alone, we have an interest in helping recent graduates get off to a financially healthy start.
