There is a big debate about the future of work,and we have in the scientific literature a wider range of estimates.Early estimates even suggest that up to half of current employment in advanced countriescould be replaced by up and coming technologies.Still, later estimates are a little more conservative and predict that around 15% of current employmentcould be susceptible to automation in the next future.Some jobs will be more exposed to automation than others.And it's pretty clear which kind of jobs this will be.These are jobs like drivers, machine operators, all those jobs that are very routine intensive,require a little level of social interactions and a little level of problem-solving.But also, many other jobs will be highly transformed, and this includes sales workers, ICT technicians,personal care workers.If we look at the advancement in artificial intelligence and machine learning, even some high-skilled jobslike teachers or doctors will be at some point affected by new technologies.Where we have high shares of informality, and large agriculture sector,the repercussion of new technologies will be slightly different than in advanced countries.On the one hand, we will have a larger share of jobs that could potentially be at risk of automation,especially in agriculture, in the construction sector.But on the other hand, the fact that labour may remain cheap may somehow lessen this effect.At the same time, workers in developing countries, as they see the increase in the service sector,will be increasingly required to leverage their digital skillstogether with their non-cognitive social skills.So basically, their ability to plan effectively, to organise and teamwork.
