How has work changed?
Digital transformation will cause some jobs to disappear or appear. It is difficult to predict correctly, because everything is changing, many new jobs are still unknown to humans at this time. In the near future, the jobs that will be automated will be those that do not require social skills and creativity.
Some examples of highly automatable occupations include: Telemarketer, Librarian, Insurance Assessor, Sports Referee, Courier.
Some examples of less affected occupations include: Therapists, Choreographers, Surgeons, Psychologists, Anthropologists and Archaeologists, Architects, Business Executives.
Does digital transformation cause unemployment?
Worries about job losses have always been present when a new industrial revolution has occurred. But the previous three industrial revolutions have not caused unemployment; on the contrary, unemployment has tended to decrease. Unemployment increases are mainly due to economic recessions. New industrial revolutions destroy some jobs but create many new ones. The problem is retraining workers.
But digital transformation can actively support retraining, as well as create tools and platforms to make new professions easier to learn and do. Digital transformation gives birth to digital universities, giving birth to distance learning platforms that make training easier, allowing us to study anytime, practice anytime, take exams and tests anytime, through our inseparable objects such as mobile phones or tablets.
For example, a new profession is labeling to teach machines to recognize faces. There are billions of photos given to workers to distinguish and label men and women, young and old, fat and thin, city or rural people. This profession can still be done online in the countryside, training is only needed through online instructions. People in the countryside do not have to go to the city to work as assembly workers or garment workers, but can still stay in the countryside to do the labeling job, just need a phone, tablet or computer and internet connection. This is an example of a new profession.
