Digital technology, near unlimited data, increased computingpower, expanding communication bandwidth, and the 24/7 online mindsetare converging to create fully digitalized worlds that mimic and parallelthe analogue “real” world. Although in its infancy, the metaverse maysoon transform our economies, our lifestyles, and our places of work.It is both critical and urgentthat policymakers act now toprepare for the new era of themetaverse, laying down thefoundations of governanceand policy to ensure that themetaverse ecosystems of thefuture are open, accessible,equitable, interoperable, and,crucially, safe for their citizensto participate in. Adapting to thisemerging digital reality will haveits challenges for governments,in particular when it comes tothe labor markets of the future.Executive Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has already redefined thetraditional boundaries of work, forcing governmentsto adapt swiftly with new regulations for new modelsof work, such as remote working. The metaversewill further accelerate the digitalization of work,resulting in an ever-greater number of individuals andbusinesses embracing digital channels of interactionand commerce.Companies are moving faster than governments.Tech giants such as Meta and Microsoft are alreadybuilding their own metaverse platforms, creatingnew paradigms for experience and employment, withnew institutions springing up such as the world’s firstmetaverse hospital chain Aimedis. In the near futurethis will culminate in mass adoption of the metaverseand create a dual digital/analogue global labor market.Governments need to greatly increase theirpreparation and readiness to regulate work andemployment in this emerging digital space, adoptingnew approaches to enhance their knowledge andcapabilities.Future governments will need to becomeambidextrous in a hybrid digital/analogue world,operating with equal rigor and effectiveness acrossboth dimensions.They must become sufficiently agileto analyze and interact with the new digital entitiesand emerging data types that will characterize futurelabor markets. The key changes will include:Many governments are currently unprepared for thistransition. Therefore, it is likely that policymakers andregulators will have to learn from non-traditional,non-government actors who have already built afoothold in the metaverse.The defining characteristic of the metaverse is that it isboundaryless. Thus, policy responses to the challengesof the metaverse will need to be boundaryless too:governments, industry, and academia will need tocome together to proactively create new rules for thisemerging labor market and contribute to its evolvingarchitecture to ensure a trustworthy, transparent, andaccountable ecosystem.To achieve metaverse-readiness, we believe thatgovernments must undertake an assessment of boththeir understanding and capabilities. They need to:1.Considerhuman resources capabilitiesboth insidethe administrative arms of government and in theeconomy at large.2.Re
