Over the past eighteen months, the Foundation for Young Australians has produced a series of reports to understand the economic and social conditions affecting young people today and into the future – and to chart a course for how we best prepare young people to drive economic and social progress in decades to come. Our New Work Order report confirmed Australia is undergoing the most significant disruption in the world of work since the industrial revolution, and how we respond has huge implications for the next generation. The shifts in the local and global economy are creating new opportunities for our industries and our way of life, but they also present significant challenges and failure to act will see our nation left behind.
