CLOSING REMARKS

 

 

Dan Te Whenua Walker, Global Co-Chair of Indigenous at Microsoft, Deputy Chair of NZ Māori Tourism, and Ringa Hora Council Member.

 

What does the Workforce of Aotearoa look like in 2040?

We asked pākihi Māori and kaimahi Māori who attended Tuia to imagine a future for rangatahi in 2040. How will things like disruptive weather, demographic shifts and digital disruption shape this future?

The insights gathered helps to inform the ‘Future of Work 2040’ project, an Ohu Ahumahi and Tokona te Raki partnership in which we anticipate the needs of our 2040 workforce in order to better plan how we get there. Tuia 2023 was one of three co-design workshops covering:

  1. Industry
  2. Rangatahi and
  3. Skills & qualification providers.

The Future of Work 2040 project data collection wraps up November 8th and the report is expected at the end of December. If you want to get involved please contact us.

The future our attendees imagined is captured in our infographic:

With the increase in adverse weather events, whānau have moved inland or into higher ground. Whānau also choose to live multi-generationally, almost reminiscent of hapū living with the strengthened wider community best able to respond to the new changes. Most jobs are now automated meaning rangatahi are able to work within their wider communities and support their friends and whānau more.
