Diversity of the workforce, increased flexibility, automation, new jobs... This is the portrait of the work world in 2030 according to English and Canadian forecasts.
Identifying the contours of the work world of tomorrow. The British Commission for Employment and Skills undertook this exercise in its report entitled The Future of Work, published this year.
One of the first conclusions of this study concerns the great diversity that will characterize the workers of 2030. The better health of seniors and the financial need for them to work longer will result in multigenerational workplaces, with employees aged 16 to over 75.
Winners and Losers
Technological development will continue to be a major factor of change. The increasing automation of tasks, particularly thanks to artificial intelligence, will no longer only affect low-skilled workers. Some white-collar workers who have been preserved until now, such as accountants, could find themselves partially replaced by robots. Mid-level positions, particularly in the administrative field, will disappear.
The worker of 2030 will be agile in navigating an increasingly interconnected world. Combining several paid activities carried out thanks to their hybrid skills, they will have to demonstrate qualities such as entrepreneurship, the ability to plan and organize, or a great sense of adaptation.
Those who will suffer the most from these evolutions are the currently low-skilled and low-paid workers. Their precariousness will only increase, as will the polarization between highly skilled and low-skilled jobs.
Employees who do not master the key skills of tomorrow will have difficulty making their mark in an increasingly flexible work environment. The risk of them falling behind is real, while the most qualified will be able to enjoy long-term contracts and working conditions that promote a balance between career and personal life.
New jobs
The world of work tomorrow will offer jobs that do not yet exist today. Consultants CST, which distributes the Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan, has identified these jobs of the future. So expect to meet nostalgia consultants in 2030. These interior designers will be able to recreate the favorite places of the elderly, such as their university room, to remind them of good memories.
Memorialists will help bereaved families manage the digital inheritance of the deceased. Digital currency advisors will assist their clients in managing their assets in digital currencies such as Bitcoin.
The development of 3D printing will result in the creation of printing stores whose managers will supervise the 3D printing of virtual creations, but also the creation of virtual versions of real objects. As for robotics advisors, they will accompany families in choosing their home robot.
