0:14 – What do chief economists expect in 2026? Weak growth and a disrupted new economic reality: In a world shaken by trade disputes, geopolitical fragmentation and the rise of AI, what’s the outlook for the global economy? The answer is mixed, as Philipp Grosskurth, Insight Lead at the World Economic Forum explains.
3:38 – This factory is using AI to help new mothers in the workplace: As the #manufacturing sector faces unprecedented challenges, the need for innovative talent strategies has never been more critical. The World Economic Forum co-created the Frontline Talent of the Future initiative, which aims to identify and share talent innovations helping manufacturing companies such as Haier in China dramatically improve their productivity and stability.
7:13 – 3 in 4 Gen Z-ers use AI to learn new skills: As the first true digital natives, Gen Z are embracing AI in the workplace more than any other generation. They use it to learn new skills, to find new jobs, and to help solve problems at work.

8:50 – In Delhi, climate change is causing informal workers to lose work.This insurance scheme pays them: Millions of informal workers in #Delhi are forced to down tools when the city’s heat or fumes swell to unbearable levels. Without sick pay or formalised contracts, they have no choice but to go without wages, making it more difficult to meet their family’s basic needs. But a new insurance pilot is paying out whenever temperatures or pollution reach unsafe levels – and insured workers are already seeing the benefits.
