Workforce Impacts By 2030: Job Losses and Opportunities in an Era of Automation and AI

Abstract

The future of work is changing rapidly due to emerging technologies and global trends. This research article examines the workforce impacts expected by 2030, highlighting major job losses but also new job creation. It focuses on roles most at risk of automation, the need for reskilling and redeployment, and the importance of upskilling to futureproof careers. Despite anticipated job losses of 92 million globally, proactive skills development and training could offset losses, create over 5 million jobs, and boost GDP by $6 trillion. Though the future presents challenges, workers can take control by actively upskilling.
