About this report

An evidence review of job-training programs that asks how much existing research can tell us about retraining workers through AI-related disruption. It synthesizes randomized evaluations, examines the history of large programs and contrasts average results with more promising sector-focused approaches. The analysis pays attention to program design, implementation, costs and uncertainty when extrapolating to new circumstances. Read it to question simple reskilling promises, compare the strength of different evidence, and frame more testable workforce-policy or training-investment proposals.

The PDF is in English. This introduction and content guide are available in your selected language.
