There\nis a latent reality on the planet. Jobs have increased, and the unemployment\nrate has declined, hundreds of new jobs have been created and the global\neconomy is stable, all thanks to globalization. However, curious as it may\nseem, the uncertainty and precariousness of the workers are increasing, all due\nprecisely to this internationalization. According to the Organization for\nEconomic Cooperation and Development <\/strong>in this year’s Forum, employees live\nin fear of being replaced by work automation and wage instability. Everything\nbegan gradually, entering machinery that replaced simple processes of workers\nin industrial plants in the middle of the last century, but today, the\nautomation of work and its increase in all areas is a fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of\ncourse, the margin of the population that is vulnerable to long-term automation\nare those employees who, due to their highly technical or mathematical jobs,\ncan be replaced by artificial intelligence. Still, not everything is as gray as\nit appears. The OECD estimates that 14% of known jobs will be automated and\nanother 32% may face changes in the way they are performed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe very near future, the machines will carry out a large part of the processes\nin the companies, allowing the economic development (especially of the third\nworld countries) and productiveness, increase. On one hand, it is true that these\nprocesses will be much more efficient than those carried out by the human hand\nand will greatly help in the management of material and human resources, and\nwill give the opportunity to get deeper in knowing the costumers and in the\ncreation of value proposals. On the other hand, there is a general concern\nthat, once machines can do more things, not only tangible but cognitive\nprocesses, people’s work will be less necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nreality is different: it is true that many jobs will cease to exist or will\nchange, especially those that encompass mathematical operations and technical\nprocesses, such as accounting or physic labor. This does not mean that data\nanalysts or supervisors will no longer exist in different areas, but that they\nwill be updated to improve core competencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nsummary: technology and hyper-connectivity are changing the nature of work:\nalong with demographic, economic and social factors, they are driving the\nemergence of a more independent and dispersed workforce. Flexibility<\/strong> is\nthe slogan of the time, from an environment in which, work was based on\ntraditional employment, to one where there are empowered employees or where\nthere are independent agents. This shows a panorama where businesses will\nchange to be much more divergent and competitive, where employees will take a\nmore important look and also where they can develop in really relevant skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nnew generations must embrace technology as an object of change; us, the old\ngenerations must adapt to a world that will leave us in obsolescence; and all\nthe agents involved should start thinking about being more creative and\ninnovative, because that is irreplaceable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
