Robots will press us from jobs by 2020

Yesterday, a report entitled The Future of Jobs appeared on the website of the annual World Economic Forum (WEF), according to which, by 2020, the development of technology will reduce the number of jobs by 5 million.

The annual World Economic Forum (WEF) is held this year from January 20 to 23. According to the information presented in the report that appeared yesterday, the development of robotization will lead to the creation of 2 million jobs. However, it will entail a reduction of 7 million jobs, mostly it will affect office and administrative positions. The report provides an analysis of the economies of developed countries and countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as well as the Arab countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council of the Arab States (GCC).

Analyzing trends in the economy and the development of technology, the authors of the report also note that these reductions will particularly affect women. This is due to the fact that in engineering and technical, mathematical and scientific and technological specialties, which are currently not at risk of reductions, traditionally fewer women than men work.

According to information received from the International Labor Organization (ILO), already 200 million people are already out of work. In five years, in order to overcome unemployment, it will be necessary to create more than 300 million new jobs.

Already, about 50% of people working on a full-time basis, are employed on part-time work. Statistics show that most of them are women. Analyzing this trend, we can assume that it is associated with the development of gigonomy and such sharing platforms as Airbnb, Uber and BlaBlaCar, which make the possibility of additional income more accessible.

As for the legal system, these changes in the nature of employment in many countries remain outside the law on the protection of employment. Moreover, even now, both full-time employees and employees who work remotely or not full-time, have proved to be less socially protected than before. The report cites the following figures: 73% of the world's population currently does not have full social protection.
