The World Economic Forum’s report has some striking findings, both on how we will work in the future, and on how technology will affect the numbers and types of jobs available.
It also found evidence that these changes are likely to be more rapid because of the pandemic. Globally, it predicts that machines will displace 85 million jobs by 2025, but more new roles–97 million–are likely to emerge.
But in the present, the report says millions of workers have already experienced profound changes which have hit disadvantaged people with greater ferocity. In two months, the pandemic destroyed more jobs than the financial crisis did in two years.
The report says there will be opportunities in what it describes as‘new professions’. These are not confined to technology. Several reflect what it calls the‘continuing importance of human interaction’, such as care, marketing, and culture.
世界经济论坛报告得出了一些惊人的发现，涉及我们未来的工作方式，也涉及技术将如何影响就业数量和类型。
报告中还发现有证据表明，由于受新冠肺炎疫情的影响，这些变化可能会更加迅速。报告预测，到2025年，全球范围内，机器将取代8500万个工作岗位，但同时可能会出现9700万个新岗位。
但报告称，目前数百万劳动者已经经历了极大的工作变化，这些变化对弱势群体的打击更凶猛。新冠肺炎疫情在两个月内摧毁的就业机会比经济危机在两年内摧毁的就业机会还要多。
该报告称，所谓的新职业将带来就业机会。这些就业机会并不局限于技术领域。其中一些新职业反映了人类之间相互交流的持续重要性，如护理、营销和文化领域的工作。
