Study Notes

The Future of Jobs Report and Its Findings

The World Economic Forum's newest Future of Jobs Report highlights that technology and green economies will disrupt labor markets, making retraining workers a top priority for businesses and governments.
The report reveals that a quarter of jobs will undergo changes, with about 12% likely to decline and 10% likely to grow.
There is a clear divergence within labor markets based on skill levels, leading to a hollowing out of the market, with higher-skilled workers earning better than lower-skilled workers.
Technology, including artificial intelligence, is expected to both disrupt and create jobs, with half of surveyed companies expecting technology to be a net job creator.
The report lists job titles likely to decline, such as secretarial and administrative roles, and those likely to grow, including technology-related and green economy roles.
The quality of future jobs varies, with teaching, for example, showing potential for higher-paid roles, especially in vocational and higher education.
Businesses are investing more in reskilling and upskilling, but there is a need for governments to step in at a larger scale to support workers in transition.
Gender differences are expected in future disruptions, with women likely to be more affected, particularly in lower-skilled, lower-paid roles.
There is a concern about technology outpacing our ability to train for it, but online learning and credentialing offer promise, provided that governments take it seriously and provide certifications.
Nordic economies, known for human capital development, are leading in taking steps forward with training, and the flex security model in Denmark is highlighted as successful.
The World Economic Forum is working with various economies, including emerging markets, to implement training models, with about 15 economies involved in this effort.
The growth of green economies, including manufacturing of wind turbines, heat pumps, and electric cars, presents new job opportunities, indicating that it is not the end of manufacturing but a shift towards greener technologies.
