🚨 Blockchain and Cryptography are among the most in-demand STEM skills in the post-Web economy. 🇬🇧 According to a new report from POST, UK Parliament, nearly half of engineering and tech businesses are struggling to recruit skilled talent. STEM skills shortages are costing the UK economy £1.5 billion per year. 📈 Yet, demand for digital, data, and decentralised technology skills - especially in #Blockchain - is growing faster than ever before. Since 2017, BBA has been actively addressing this gap through education, research, and policy engagement: ✅ The #JBBA – the world's peer-reviewed Web3 Journal in print and online - publishes cutting-edge research and educational content on blockchain science and #policy. ➡️ Blockchain Skills in Demand and Labour Market Cryptoeconomics:

📍📉 Trust in public institutions is in decline, according to the latest research from the UK Parliament’s Office for Science & Technology - POST, UK Parliament. 🔄 To rebuild this trust, we must reimagine how institutions engage with society — through the Quadruple Helix model: ✅ Industry ✅ Academia ✅ Government ✅ Civil Society 🔐 Technologies like #Blockchain can institutionalise trust at scale — enabling transparency, accountability, and auditability across socio-economic systems, according to several research papers published in The #JBBA. 🤝 Forums such as the All-Party Parliamentary Groups play an important role in bringing together diverse stakeholders to explore solutions to these complex challenges, through evidence, dialogue and cross-sector collaboration. 📊 A study published in the Journal of the British Blockchain Association (JBBA) found that 35% of the US workforce is engaged solely in trust maintenance functions: ➡️ Blockchain - A Panacea For Trust Challenges In Public Services?
