There has been a decrease in manufacturing jobs.

Since its founding in 1990, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a

deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics

research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in the commercial,

public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management

and policy decisions.

MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the

analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro”

methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad

macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports

have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six

themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global

financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization.

Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on

employment, income inequality, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling

gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and

financial globalization.

MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: Jacques Bughin, Jonathan Woetzel,

and James Manyika, who also serves as the chairman of MGI. Michael Chui, Susan Lund,

Anu Madgavkar, Jan Mischke, Sree Ramaswamy, and Jaana Remes are MGI partners, and

Mekala Krishnan and Jeongmin Seong are MGI senior fellows.

Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows and include

consultants from McKinsey offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey’s

global network of partners and industry and management experts. The MGI Council, which

includes leaders from McKinsey offices around the world and the firm’s sector practices,

includes Michael Birshan, Andrés Cadena, Sandrine Devillard, André Dua, Kweilin Ellingrud,

Tarek Elmasry, Katy George, Rajat Gupta, Eric Hazan, Acha Leke, Scott Nyquist, Gary Pinkus,

Sven Smit, Oliver Tonby, and Eckart Windhagen. In addition, leading economists, including

Nobel laureates, advise MGI research.
