This collection examines how higher education responds to the demands  of the automation economy and the fourth industrial revolution.  Considering significant trends in how people are learning, coupled with  the ways in which different higher education institutions and education  stakeholders are implementing adaptations, it looks at new programs and  technological advances that are changing how and why we teach and learn.  The book addresses trends in liberal arts integration of STEM  innovations, the changing role of libraries in the digital age, global  trends in youth mobility, and the development of lifelong learning  programs. This is coupled with case study assessments of the various  ways China, Singapore, South Africa and Costa Rica are preparing their  populations for significant shifts in labour market demands – shifts  that are already underway. Offering examples of new frameworks in which  collaboration between government, industry, and higher education  institutions can prevent lagging behind in this fast changing  environment, this book is a key read for anyone wanting to understand  how the world should respond to the radical technological shifts  underway on the frontline of higher education.
