The calculations are from the World Economic Forum, which adds that this net creation results from the creation of 170 million jobs and the destruction of 92 million, due to automation and the extinction of tasks.
Technological advances, especially artificial intelligence, will have a very significant impact on the employment market, with a net creation of 78 million jobs by 2030, estimates the (WEF, its acronym in English).
That net creation results from the creation of 170 million jobs and the destruction of 92 million, due to automation and the elimination of tasks.
The WEF’s calculations will be released this Wednesday in a document outlining its vision for the future of work, which will offer new job opportunities while many traditional jobs will disappear.
These changes arise in part from the and automation, and, on the other hand, economic pressures and demographic changes, the combination of which will result in a profound transformation of labor markets.
Based on a survey of a thousand companies, the WEF anticipates that 41% of employers will reduce their workforce, due to the automation of tasks that have required human action, which will affect repetitive and routine work.
This is the case of graphic designers and office workers who will be much less in demand, due to AI that allows similar tasks to be performed more efficiently.
But the opposite is also expected to happen
On the contrary, AI is expected to create jobs, in considerable quantities, with its own development, the so-called ‘big data’ (very large amount of information), cybersecurity and renewable energies.
The demand for technical training related to AI will grow exponentially, as it will be essential for new roles, which requires updating and improving the capabilities of current workers.
However, the demand for farmers, truck drivers, nursing professionals, teachers, catering staff and salespeople will see a significant increase.
Projections also indicate that 59% of the workforce needs to return to professional training, with 2030 on the horizon, otherwise more than 120 million workers will have their jobs at risk due to lack of training.
Certain human capabilities will continue to be essential
It is also understood that human capabilities, such as creative thinking, resilience, flexibility and collaboration, continue to be essential and that, in short, the key to success will be in the appropriate combination of technical and human skills.
The document anticipates that, in addition to AI, changes will also result from economic and demographic pressures.
“Factors such as the rise in the cost of living, the aging of the population in high-income countries and the increase in the working-age population in low-income countries will have an impact on the demand for work in sectors such as health and education”, he explained. in the text.
The report also highlights that skills mismatch will be the main barrier to business transformation, with 63% of employers citing this lack as their main obstacle to keeping their operations up to date.
