This article examines the global labour market as of 2023 and forecasts how companies can respond to the changes expected in the labour market through 2027 using a cross-industry and global survey of HR leaders, learning leaders, and CEOs from leading global employers including: CultureAmp (a leading employee feedback and analytics software company that helps organizations improve workplace culture and employee engagement); Adecco (a global leader in personalization consulting); Randstad (a Dutch multinational human resources consulting company); Manpower (a US-based human resources services company). The survey covered macro and technology trends, their impact on the workplace, their impact on skills, and the workforce transformation strategies that companies plan to employ. The article also used data from reports by the International Labor Organization and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the American social network for finding and establishing business contacts LinkedIn. When assessing the current state of the global labor market, special attention is paid to: differences in labor market results in low-, middle-, and high-income countries; differences in employment levels by gender, age, and education level; access to social protection; real wages and cost of living; employee preferences; changes in employment between industries. It is concluded that in the modern globalizing world, the transformation of social and economic relations leads to significant structural changes in the labor market, which requires updating the mechanism for its regulation. The development of information technology, increased competition among highly qualified workers, increased migration, and the emergence of new forms and types of employment put forward new requirements for a high level of skills and abilities that the modern labor market requires. The globalization of the economy requires that the modern workforce have critical and analytical thinking, creativity, cognitive flexibility, problem-solving ability, initiative, media and information literacy. Therefore, economic growth can be achieved by preparing a workforce capable of rapid change and fierce competition in regional, national and global labor markets.
