About
Dr. Salman Abdisalam is a policy-oriented researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human capital development, labor economics, and evidence-based social policy. His primary focus is on adult skills development and training, particularly within high-income countries navigating the disruptions of automation and digitalization. His most notable contribution is the landmark protocol, "Adult skills development and training in high‐income countries: A Campbell evidence and gap map" (2020), which systematically maps the existing research landscape on this critical issue. This work directly addresses the OECD’s estimate that roughly 9% of current jobs in member states are threatened by technological change, providing a crucial framework for policymakers and practitioners. By identifying both what is known and where evidence is lacking, Abdisalam’s research serves as a foundational tool for designing effective, data-driven interventions to reskill and upskill workforces. His work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of work, lifelong learning, and the policies needed to ensure economic resilience in an era of rapid technological transformation.
