According to the employers, the 5 -job line that will grow in the next 5 years – Cyprus Newspaper

While there are concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) will take over many professions, a future in which the human labor force is completely eliminated, at least for now, does not seem possible.

According to a survey conducted by the World Economic Forum with approximately 1000 employers in 55 economies, despite the rapid development of digital technologies, the labor force will be the most demanding in the next 5 years.

The most new job position worldwide will be created for farm workers and other agricultural workers.

In addition, more than 5 million new employment can be created for truck (and delivery) drivers, and more than 5 million employment for application and software developers and construction scaffold founders.

When it comes to the fastest growing sectors, the table is completely technology -oriented.

At the beginning of the list, large data experts are located in the number of jobs with an increase of 120 percent. Financial technology (Fintech) engineers with an increase of approximately 100 percent and artificial intelligence and machine learning experts with an increase of 80 percent.

Which jobs are at risk the most?

All kinds of civil servants and administrative positions are among the most risky professions.

The biggest loss in terms of absolute numbers seems to be experienced in cashiers and ticket box office officials with a decrease of 15 million.

Managers’ assistant positions are also expected to decrease by 5 million. Cleaning officers, floor officials and warehouse employees are followed; It is estimated that approximately 5 million positions may disappear for each.

Similarly, at the beginning of the fastest disappearing professions, office works are approximately 40 percent in postal services employees and bank meter, and a decrease of 20 percent in data entry personnel and cashiers.

However, this does not mean that all store employees will be unemployed.

Sales representatives and sales assistants rank fifth in general employment increase; Approximately 5 million new job positions are expected to be opened in this area.

Is it to hire new employees or to improve the skills of existing employees?

The questionnaire also examines how the human-technology relationship in the workplace will evolve in the future.

Currently, approximately 48 percent of the jobs are carried out by people, 32 percent in cooperation with human-technology, and 20 percent are carried out by completely technological systems.

However, by 2030, this balance is expected to change significantly: 34 percent of the tasks are carried out by “only human”, 34 percent will be shared between people and technology and the remaining 32 percent will be completely left to technology.

In order for artificial intelligence and human employees to work together in the most efficient way, European employers plan to buy new employees and to re -train existing personnel.

Both methods are widely preferred; However, education (79 percent) is more prominent than the recruitment of new personnel (65 percent).

Spain wants to facilitate recruitment and dismissal

According to the report, by 2030, 59 percent of the worldwide labor force will need education again. European economies are preparing for growing recruitment challenges: 54 percent of employers are worried that talent shortage will worse – this rate is well above the global average.

Skill deficiencies in Spain are seen as one of the biggest obstacles to adapt to change. 60 percent of Spanish employers think that the solution is through public policy reforms that will facilitate recruitment and dismissal practices. 49 percent want more flexibility in paying wages.

46 percent of employers in France think that the regulations to be made in pension and old age salaries can increase labor access.

British and German companies are cautious against geopolitical shocks

In general, the increase in digitalization, struggle against climate change and life costs is seen as the main factors that will reshape the European labor market by 2030.

However, geopolitical uncertainties also stand out as an important threat. In the UK, 56 percent of employers show geopolitical tensions as one of the biggest changes in the future. A similar picture is seen in Germany. This rate is 52 percent in Europe’s largest economy.

Germany recently became the world’s fourth largest military spending country.

On the other hand, most of the employers in Italy are focused on the climate crisis, unlike other countries. 70 percent of Italian employers think that the main driving force of transformation is green investments – this rate is far above the global average of 43 percent.
