The “networked economy” (Castells 1996) of the late twentieth century replaced the rigid hierarchies and production practices typical of the Taylor-Ford model. This shift enabled a flexible career path, giving birth to what John Gray has described as the “portfolio person”—one without permanent attachment to any particular occupation or organization, whose skills allow for self-reliance in finding paid employment on his or her own terms (Gray 1998, 71–72, 111).

But this requires that countries develop national action plans, which are then supported.
