  • According to the study, clerical and manual workers will bear the brunt of the impact.

    The study predicts the creation of 2.1 million jobs which would require specialists in computing, engineering, mathematics etc.; skills which former manual and clerical workers are unlikely to have.

    Therefore, employers and governments in every sector have been urged to set up retraining facilities to avoid massive unemployment.

    Why retraining is crucial for the future

  • "Without urgent and targeted action today, to manage the near-term transition and build a workforce with future-proof skills, governments will have to cope with ever-growing unemployment and inequality" said Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of World Economic Forum.

    The skills required for future jobs

    The skills required for future jobs
  • The job market of the future will have very different criteria.

    According to David Deming, Associate Professor of education and economics at Harvard University, soft skills like negotiating and sharing will take on a lot of importance, and single-skill jobs will decline.

    In knowledge-based economies of the future the most lucrative opportunities would go to people who combine interpersonal skills with technical skills.
