The majority, 61%, were positive about the impact of technology on their day-to-day work, and 77% of people would learn new skills now or completely retrain to improve their future employability.
”In Central & Eastern Europe we see that people are increasingly aware that technology and automation are going to significantly change the labour market and that their jobs are going to be impacted. At PwC, we have embarked on an ambitious digital upskilling initiative across CEE, not just for the PwC professionals, but also working with our clients and stakeholders to advance this important issue across the territories of our region”, said Nick Kós, CEO of PwC Central & Eastern Europe.
The research was carried out on over 22,000 adults from 11 countries: Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, the UK and the US), starting from PwC research showing that 30% of jobs are at risk from automation by the mid-2030s. Meanwhile, PwC’s 2019 annual CEO survey shows that the availability of skills is a top concern for 79% of CEOs.
“The technology will contribute to the disappearance of some jobs and, at the same time, to the creation of new ones that will need increased digital skills. The transformation of the economy and the labor market due to technology will affect both employees and employers. For this reason, companies and authorities must show openness, adapt to change and, of course, invest in education and training to get the most benefit from this process,” said Ionuț Simion, Country Managing Partner PwC Romania.
