5 things to know about the future of jobs
World Economic Forum, September 17, 2018

This article summarizes five trends that will be increasingly relevant for companies over the next four years: automation, robotization and digitization look different across different industries; there is a net positive outlook for jobs (amid significant job disruption); the division of labour between humans, machines and algorithms is shifting fast; new tasks at work are driving demand for new skills; and we will all need to become lifelong learners. These changes, “if managed wisely, could lead to a new age of good work, good jobs and improved quality of life for all, but if managed poorly, pose the risk of widening skills gaps, greater inequality and broader polarization. In many ways, the time to shape the future of work is now.” The full report is available here.
