Technology May Not Take Your Job
In September this year, a study titled ‘The Future of Skills: Employment in 2030’ conducted by ‘Nesta’ revealed the most detailed investigation to date, on the impact of technology in the future. Some of the key findings found that a mere 20 per cent of workers in the US are vulnerable to unemployment. That’s down from the 47 per cent cited in a 2013 study.
The likelihood that 20 per cent of the workforce is in occupations vulnerable to technology by 2030 is frightening, but well short of the original estimate of 47 per cent. So what has changed?
The Daily spoke to Adjunct Professor David Fagan from the Queensland University of Technology about the role of technology in the future.
