COVID-19, the sustainable revolutions and technology improvements have disrupted work and made digital skills critical for people to prepare for the future. Businesses are forced to scale remote work, digitize, and automate most of the operations and processes.
According to the Future of Jobs Report, by 2025, humans and machines will work the same number of hours. Automation will eliminate approximately 85 million jobs, the most of which will be manual and repetitive, ranging from assembly factory workers to accountants.
Automation, digitization and rapid change will bring with it a whole host of new job roles, particularly around data analysis, process automation and information security. In contrast, we will see the decline of roles focusing on data entry, assembly and factory work and stock-keeping, many of which will be replaced by automated processes.
While the loss of certain job roles may seem alarming, it’s not all doom and gloom. In fact, if you’re working in a role likely to be affected by the impact of automation, digitization and the changing world of work, there are plenty of skills you can work on right now to help you reskill and stay relevant, ranging from technical skills to problem solving and soft skills.
If you're planning your career or contemplating a change, here are the top 10 in-demand jobs to keep a close eye on in 2025.
