Part 7/9:
Despite acknowledging the need to help workers transition, the report marginally addresses reskilling programs. It suggests updating the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act but treats it as an afterthought rather than a central solution. Many experts believe that retraining displaced workers should be prioritized to prevent a surge in unemployment and social discontent.
The report's limited emphasis on proactive reskilling raises concerns. It overlooks the importance of empowering individuals with new skills to adapt, innovate, and seize emerging opportunities. Relying predominantly on government intervention and taxation appears to diminish personal agency in career development.
