2050 – less jobs or more jobs ??

How many and what kind of jobs will be replaced by automation is one of the big debates of our time. Some projections seem dire: About 7.1 million jobs, with two-thirds of them in office and administration, will be lost because of labor market changes in coming years, according to the World Economic Forum. 

Yet some economists suggest that automation can actually increase employment in the industries it transforms.

Less jobs or more jobs – one can be certain – they will be different jobs ….. and with the rate of new knowledge – the key is to be able to learn how to learn – and accept change.

What do you think?
