Workers, especially the young and women, will face these shifts alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on past experiences, Anwar noted that unpreparedness for globalization previously resulted in stagnant wages, declining trust, and the rise of grievance-based politics. <\/p>\n<p>He warned that &#8220;with AI, destabilization becomes a real risk if countries enter this transition unprepared,&#8221; describing it as \u201cone of the defining challenges of our times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To address these challenges, Anwar urged nations to &#8220;equip their people, especially the young, for the speed of technological change,&#8221; enhance social safety nets, and provide support to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by stressing that &#8220;global resilience cannot be built on fiscal exhaustion,&#8221; emphasizing the need for countries to have the ability to &#8220;invest ahead of disruption, not after,&#8221; and that multilateral development banks should be prepared to act &#8220;more quickly and work closely with countries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color:black\" href=\"https:\/\/menafn.com\/1110384336\/Malaysias-Premier-Urges-G20-to-Prepare-for-AI-Labor-Market-Shifts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/p>\n<p>MENAFN23112025000045017167ID1110384336<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(MENAFN) Malaysia\u2019s Prime Minister cautioned G20 nations that artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform labor markets at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":301700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[45,49,48,46],"class_list":{"0":"post-301699","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-economy"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
