Economic Transformation and Job Market Shifts
Despite these concerns, there's a significant economic transformation underway. The world is transitioning from a fossil fuel-based economy to a green economy. According to the World Economic Forum, this shift is expected to create 100 million new jobs in the green sector alone.
The job market is already experiencing substantial changes due to technological advancements. For instance, social media, despite its controversies, has led to the creation of 21 million new jobs in just 14 years. As AI becomes more prevalent, it's anticipated to spawn entirely new professions that haven't even been conceptualized yet.
