The Future of Jobs Report aims to shed light on the pandemic-related disruptions in 2020, contextualized within a longer history of economic cycles & the expected outlook for technology adoption, jobs, and skills in the next five years.
By 2025, automation and a new division of labour between humans and machines will disrupt 85 million jobs globally in medium and large businesses across 15 industries and 26 economies. Roles in areas such as data entry, accounting, and administrative support are decreasing in demand as automation and digitization in the workplace increases.
More than 80% of business executives are accelerating plans to digitize work processes and deploy new technologies, and 50% of employers are expecting to accelerate the automation of some roles in their companies. In contrast to previous years, job creation is now slowing while job destruction is accelerating.
In 2025, analytical thinking, creativity, and flexibility are among the top skills needed; with data and artificial intelligence, content creation, and cloud computing the top emerging professions.
