The book explores policy options for a more inclusive society where skills, education and training of the workforce may have a greater role in enabling workers in achieving a larger share of economic growth.

Chapters include Gog et al's argument that policy changes need to support the sectoral approach to skills development in each industry sector, and others examine the link between skills and inequality, as well as policy practices in Singapore and other countries.

The book is co-edited by Johnny Sung and Catherine Ramos with contributions from Dominique Anxo, Margarita Estévez-Abe, Wilmer Salverda, Irene Ng, Vincent Chua, Ong Ye Kung, Gog Soon Joo, Sim Soo Kheng, and Simon Freebody.
