Phần ANSWERS)
The next two decades promise a full-scale revolution in our working lives, with automation becoming the
center of productivity. But let’s take a look at the present and how technology already is a huge part of our lives.
The concept that our jobs will be replaced by robots and we will be out of work is not true. We already live in an
age of robotics in the workplace, and, before the pandemic, we had reached some of the lowest global
unemployment rates in history with 5.2% in 2018. (Worldwide)
In other words, high tech and high employment rates don’t need to be mutually exclusive. This coexistence
gives us reason to believe that technology will create more jobs than it will destroy. But we have to be very careful
when analyzing this situation as a projection because there is one problem that is arising and that we need to address
as soon as possible.
The fact is that jobs will switch to skill-based. In turn, this will affect the most vulnerable populations who
have less access to education.

A. Human labor B. Automation C. Manual work D. Traditional industries
