The Creativity Crisis
Why Creativity Matters More Than Ever
Creativity is now a top 3 in-demand skill globally, according to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025—and its value is rising as AI and automation replace routine tasks. Employers increasingly seek creative problem-solving, adaptability, and innovation, which machines can't replicate.
Why creativity matters:
- It drives innovation and agility in business.
- Encourages effective problem-solving from multiple perspectives.
- Boosts collaboration, empathy, and emotional intelligence.
Yet, we face a Creativity Crisis, as identified by Dr. Kyung Hee Kim. Her research shows a significant decline in creativity scores among kids, especially from kindergarten to third grade.
Key reasons for this decline:
- Standardized testing limits imaginative learning.
- Overscheduling leaves little room for free play.
- Excess screen time replaces hands-on exploration.
- Cuts to arts programs reduce creative opportunities.
Why it matters:
Creativity is essential—not just in art, but in life and future careers. A drop in creativity weakens kids’ abilities to:
- Think critically and independently
- Solve problems creatively
- Adapt and express themselves
As schools struggle to keep up, community programs must step in to bridge the creativity gap and prepare kids with the skills needed for success in 2025 and beyond.
