Abstract	This document is a thematically organized summary of the proceedings of a seminar that included presentations and reactions to presentations by a field of international researchers on the effects of worldwide structural change on employment, education, and training in the service sector. The papers presented are part of a 10-country study of labor market adjustment and the service sector that is being conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's Centre for Educational Research and Innovation. The research findings presented in the seminar sessions address the following issues: (1) changing demographic profiles characterized by fewer youth and an aging work force; (2) rising minimum competency thresholds for many jobs, with the attendant danger of a polarized labor force of highly skilled and unskilled workers if effective education and training programs cannot be developed to bridge the gap; and (3) rapid internationalization of economic and labor forces resulting in international skill markets. A list of participants and their countries is included in the document. (KC)
