Education rightly remains a tool for competing in the global economy & thus an aim of governments worldwide, but there are problems with viewing formal education alone as the means to a good working & personal life. Policies that encourage a work culture (including better work conditions & opportunities for further training) may lead to a better pay-off in terms of individual needs as well as a better economy. With the rapid development of technology & concurrent areas of employment, continuing education/training is a necessity. Employers offering, & workers taking advantage of, the advancement of worker capability are going to be the most competitive, thereby making their countries more competitive in the global economy. Other measures are necessary as well, including improved accessibility for young people in depressed areas first to education & then to good work opportunities. This paper explores how a new economic system can bring together educated workers & progressive industries to promote their mutual growth. Adapted from the source document.
