The Future of Jobs Report 2025 (https://lnkd.in/g3a9xUj8) from the World Economic Forum is a fabulous repository of info. Some sound bites for those that aren't going to use Chat GPT to summarise it😄: "Technology-related roles are the fastest- growing jobs in percentage terms, including Big Data Specialists, Fintech Engineers, AI and Machine Learning Specialists and Software and Application Developers. Green and energy transition roles, including Autonomous and Electric Vehicle Specialists, Environmental Engineers, and Renewable Energy Engineers, also feature within the top fastest-growing roles." "Analytical thinking remains the most sought- after core skill among employers, with seven out of 10 companies considering it as essential in 2025. This is followed by resilience, flexibility and agility, along with leadership and social influence." "While global job numbers are projected to grow by 2030, existing and emerging skills differences between growing and declining roles could exacerbate existing skills gaps. The most prominent skills differentiating growing from declining jobs are anticipated to comprise resilience, flexibility and agility; resource management and operations; quality control; programming and technological literacy. Given these evolving skill demands, the scale of workforce upskilling and reskilling expected to be needed remains significant: if the world’s workforce was made up of 100 people, 59 would need training by 2030. Of these, employers foresee that 29 could be upskilled in their current roles and 19 could be upskilled and redeployed elsewhere within their organization. However, 11 would be unlikely to receive the reskilling or upkskilling needed, leaving their employment prospects increasingly at risk." "Skill gaps are categorically considered the biggest barrier to business transformation by Future of Jobs Survey respondents, with 63% of employers identifying them as a major barrier over the 2025- 2030 period. Accordingly, 85% of employers surveyed plan to prioritize upskilling their workforce, with 70% of employers expecting to hire staff with new skills, 40% planning to reduce staff as their skills become less relevant, and 50% planning to transition staff from declining to growing roles." Note: no AI was used in building these summaries! And also, no mention of AI was made in these summaries... Sub-note: Alright then, one reference "By 2030, just over half of employers (52%) anticipate allocating a greater share of their revenue to wages, with only 7% expecting this share to decline. Wage strategies are driven primarily by goals of aligning wages with workers’ productivity and performance and competing for retaining talent and skills. Finally, half of employers plan to re- orient their business in response to AI, two-thirds plan to hire talent with specific AI skills, while 40% anticipate reducing their workforce where AI can automate tasks."

The Future of Jobs Report 2025 examines the evolving global labor market through insights from over 1,000 leading employers representing more than 14 million workers across various industries and economies. It forecasts that between 2025 and 2030, 22% of today’s jobs will be impacted by structural labor market transformations. While a net increase of 78 million jobs is predicted, this shift involves both job creation (170 million) and destruction (92 million). The report identifies five key macrotrends shaping this transformation: •Technological Change: Notably, the increasing use of AI and information processing technologies is expected to create and displace jobs, highlighting the shifting human-machine frontier. •Geoeconomic Fragmentation: Although expected to be a slower driver of job creation, fragmentation trends are projected to create 5 million net jobs by 2030, particularly in logistics, security, and strategy roles. •Green Transition: This is expected to significantly impact skills and workforce strategies, with a focus on environmental stewardship and sustainability. •Demographic Shifts: Both aging and declining working-age populations, as well as growing working-age populations, are creating unique challenges and opportunities. •Economic Uncertainty: Influenced by factors like inflation and rising living costs, economic uncertainty affects job creation and destruction patterns. The report emphasizes the importance of reskilling and upskilling to address the emerging skills gap. An estimated 59 out of every 100 workers will need training by 2030. Key findings regarding skills include: •Employers predict that 44% of core skills will change in the next five years. •Skills like analytical thinking, resilience, flexibility, and AI and big data are becoming increasingly important. To navigate these transformations, companies are adopting strategies such as: •Upskilling the workforce. •Automating processes. •Hiring for new skills. •Focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion to improve talent availability. The report also discusses the impact of these trends on wages, the increasing role of AI, and the need for effective public policies and business practices to support workforce transitions. https://lnkd.in/d_MjUKv6

I always enjoy reading the WEF’s Future of Jobs report, but this year I was particularly interested, given the volume of client conversations and media coverage about the impact of technology on jobs, work and skills in the past 12 months. This year’s Report draws on insights from over 1,000 employers across diverse sectors and provides a compelling glimpse into the rapidly evolving global labour market, the transformative forces at play and how they are reshaping work and skills. Insights that resonated for me include: 1. Technological advancements like Generative AI, automation, and broader digital access are transforming industries. Rising living costs and economic slowdowns concern employees and employers alike. Climate change is driving demand for green jobs in renewable energy and environmental engineering. Demographic shifts require reskilling: aging populations in high-income countries and growing youth in lower-income ones. 2. Jobs are changing. By 2030, the World Economic Forum predicts that 170 million new jobs will be created, especially in AI, data analysis, and renewable energy. However, 92 million jobs will be lost to automation and economic changes, affecting roles like administrative assistants and assembly line workers. Net employment growth is projected at 78 million new jobs. 3. Skills are changing:  Critically, these changes will drive a significant transformation of work, skills and jobs. Forty-four percent (nearly half!!) of core skills in our labour force globally are expected to change. Organisations must act now to forecast and invest in the workforce to be ready for these significant shifts in capability. Analytical thinking, resilience, flexibility, and leadership, and tech skills in AI, big data, and cybersecurity will remain crucial. 4. Workforce strategies must be data driven to prepare organisations for capacity and capability shifts and reimagine the way work gets done. DEI initiatives are growing, with 83% of companies implementing DEI goals and training. Automation is balanced with augmenting human roles to boost productivity and create more meaningful work and jobs. 5. Regional, economic and industry impacts differ: Middle-income economies focus on reducing unemployment through digitalisation and green initiatives and lower-income economies need job creation and skills development. High-income countries tackle aging populations by maintaining high skill levels, and emerging markets are leveraging their young workforce through education and job creation. Key industries like technology, healthcare, and manufacturing are prioritising reskilling and new technologies. This Report emphasises the crucial role of proactive measures in preparing for the future labour market. Employers, governments, educators, and civil society must collaborate to bridge skills gaps and foster an inclusive, future-ready workforce. https://lnkd.in/g6C3w6PU
