Creating Growth and Jobs for a New Era

How can government, business and civil society come together around a new economic framework to avoid a decade of low growth and put people at the centre of a more prosperous trajectory? How can we minimize trade-offs and maximize synergies in a situation where traditional measures seemingly fail? Supported through partnerships with international economic institutions and top academics, as well as the Forum’s work on competitiveness, innovation and human capital.
