Will the day come when we all work as our own boss?

Stephane Kasriel, CEO

of Upwork and co-chair of the Global Future Council on Education, Gender
and Work, says entrepreneurs and freelancers represent the future of the
workplace, as traditional office jobs become less and less relevant. He
explains what we need to do to prepare, how companies should react, and
why there is still a glass ceiling to be shattered.
Your Global Future Council has a very broad spectrum to cover. How do
you see education, gender and work colliding?
The reason we adopted this approach is that the three topics are greatly
interconnected. There is more value in recognising the links between these
issues than analysing them in isolated studies.
Some countries have been good at taking a holistic approach, but most still
see these as separate functions. Our goal is to get stakeholders to approach
these topics as a whole, with a more human-centered approach as opposed to
the traditional functional point of view.
