- Global labour market resilience is on the rise as global unemployment has dropped from 5.2% to 4.9% over five years
- Three out of the top five countries with the highest level of robots installed per employee are among the top ten most resilient labour markets in the world
- Best practice is countries reinforce the social contract at the local level to bring labour market resilience to the next level
