This report by the World Economic Forum and PwC explores how AI is reshaping how organisations hire, develop and advance people, revealing that more than one in three young workers are employed in occupations with medium to high exposure to AI-driven task change.
Crucially, how entry-level roles evolve will have significant implications for organisational performance, workforce participation and economic mobility. The report examines the impact of AI on entry-level work and identifies priorities for safeguarding and reinventing early-career pathways. It introduces a framework centred on four dimensions – job access, job design, succession pipelines and education system alignment – to help organisations, educators, workers and policy-makers identify where strain is emerging and where deliberate action is needed.
