47% of current employees in the US will be replaced by robots?

A study published recently by Oxford University found that more than 47% of jobs in the US are threatened to be completely replaced by computers in the next few decades.

This will lead to millions of workers who may not have jobs in the future. Therefore, the current top concern is what skills do workers need to have in order to survive in the highly competitive technology labor market in the near future?

The main trend today is that smart machines and equipment will gradually replace people at work. Who needs a bus or truck driver while the self-running cars can replace people. Thousands of workers are needed to repair cars while there are robotic arms with full of sensors.

Not only does technology replace workers, affecting the transition of economic sectors, it also requires workers to learn new skills to keep up with the development of science and technology. If outdated with technology and without the necessary skills, workers can face a great risk of unemployment in the near future.

Charles Fadel, founder of the Workforce Research and Training Center, co-authored the book "21st Century Skill" said: "The industrial revolution, followed by the technical revolution The number posed requires re-training and improving the working skills of workers " . This is Fadel's speech at a meeting between economists, business representatives and human resources experts from North America and Europe to discuss the impact of science and technology on the TB market. dynamic.

The responsibility of training and improving the quality of human resources belongs to both governments and employers. However, the current education systems in many countries have not caught up with the rapid and complex progress of today's science and technology. Besides, companies do not want to spend a lot of budget to train human resources because this still does not create much real benefits for the company. Therefore, the workers must train their knowledge and skills to face the rising unemployment rate.

Recognizing the urgent problem, some countries have come up with a solution to proactively solve the problem. In 2014, the British Government required students to learn software programming right from the beginning of elementary school. Students will continue learning programming from the age of 5 until at least 16 years old. This is the first country to put programming into a formal subject in the education system.

In many parts of the world, workers must actively improve their skills to adapt to new technologies. However, not everyone has the ability to self-study. Even some people feel that they do not need or have time and conditions for self-study. Fabio Rosati, executive director of Elance's online freelance job market, said the demand for skilled IT workers will increase in the next two or three years.

Lucilla Sioli, president of the European Commission for Digital Science and Technology, said: " One reason many people don't want to study ICT is that skills change so quickly. It's not a problem of learners. lazy, simply because the rapid development of the invisible invisible technology has created a great pressure on workers in this field. "

This is the psychological and emotional aspect of current IT workers. They are always afraid to be left behind for technology.

Sonny Tambe, professor of human resource management at Stern University of Economics, New York, said: "We are witnessing a shortage in the labor force in the IT sector. What will happen when 1 "The engineer has turned 40? Go to Silicon Valley and witness the panic of some people working here. This is really a fairytale that emerged in the high-tech world."

Theoretically, the human resource market needs to solve the problem in a specific way. The economic shift has been a problem of the past, now it must solve the problem of paying worthy salaries to workers who can meet the skills that high-tech jobs require. Injustice in paying wages still occurs in many places. Moreover, the training of high-tech workers is still too slow and uneven, making workers unable to keep up with the needs of the job.
