I thank Dr. Djankov for outlining this report. I find this exchange very interesting from the perspective that it demonstrates how ill-prepared we are for the future and for the jobs of the future. To start with education, are we changing curricula fast enough to meet the new jobs of the future and, if we are not, why are we not? Are there some countries which are changing theirs fast enough from which we could learn? Dr. Djankov might respond to that question on education. What are the subjects we need to be doing across the board?
