Internet is the fourth most impactful invention in human history after - the fire, the wheel, the electricity; and yet, we have barely scratched the potential of what Internet can deliver. As we move ahead with technologies and tools built to leverage the Internet, scepticism is gaining ground on the potential impact of the Internet on taking away jobs.
This Dynamic Coalition on ‘Internet & Jobs’ has come from the realization of the need for sustainable and responsible automation, and the potential of the Internet to create jobs and boost the local economies. It is a result of the initiatives taken by Prof. Rajendra Pratap Gupta at the IGF, since 2018 when it was held in Paris and then, in 2019, at Berlin.
Our goal:
- To create jobs across sectors and geographies, through a multi-stakeholder, ecosystem approach of; Connect, Coordinate, Activate, Train, and Enable.
- Help people realise the human resource and entrepreneurial potential of the Internet across the globe.
