## Sobre este episodio

The labor market has been in constant transition, adapting to new technologies and responding to the quickly changing demands of consumers. COVID-19 has only been a spark to speed this transition along. Laura Ripani (Principal Specialist and Coordinator of the Future of Work Agenda) and Fernando Pavón (Skills Development Specialist for the Caribbean) share their views on the labor market in the Caribbean and how it is impacted by COVID-19. What can the region do, or do more of, to adapt its workforce to the current situation and the future we are facing? Golda Lee Bruce, Development Storyteller for the Caribbean Department, hosts this discussion.
