The Role of Education and Skills in Reducing Unemployment in the Era of Digitalization and Globalization

Abstract

Education and skills are the key foundations in the face of economic and technological change in the era of digitalization and globalization. The research has a clear objective to reveal the essential role of education and skills in improving the quality of human resources as well as preparing them to face the complexity of the challenges of the Industry 4.0 era. The method chosen in this research is through a careful study of literature, by digging up a variety of sources of information that are relevant and relevant to the foundation of knowledge that is intended to be acquired. Research results strongly confirm that investments in education and skills development have a significant impact in improving individual performance and competitiveness in the professional sphere. Education is not only knowledge, but also the foundation for creative, productive, and improved competence for workers. More importantly, education and skills equip individuals with the ability to adapt to technological changes and the changing dynamics of the world of work. From the results, the recommendations are clear: the importance of collaboration between governments, the business sector, and the public in increasing investment in the education and skills sectors. It's not just about funding, it's about developing an educational system that is responsive, adaptable to market needs, and has a flexible space for innovation. This holistic approach is expected to form a solid foundation for sustained economic growth and a reduction in unemployment rates in the future.
