Conclusions

restatement of my stance

Influences - job availability- skill requirements- wages- employment security- socio-economic environment

• Diminishing correlation between education and job opportunities

• Traditional qualifications may not guarantee employment

• Urgency to address challenges through proactive measures like upskilling and reskilling programs

• It matches your audience.
• It adapts fonts and colors to the theme.
• It includes images and entertains.

• Represent data with graphics.

• Use timelines.
• It's animated and interactive.
• Excite the brain through multimedia elements.
• DO NOT exceed with bullet points 🙃​.

vocational training, digital literacy courses, and certifications in emerging fields such as data analytics, cybersecurity, and AI

higer levels of technical expertise from young employees.

high level of automation has led to incrased efficiency

TeXTILE

AUTOMATIVE

• high level of automation led to increased efficiency
• BUT reduced the number of low-skilled jobs traditionally available to young workers

• recent advancements in robotics and AI create new opportunities for skilled workers
• BUT higher levels of technical expertise are required from young employees.

need to adapt to the changing job market by acquiring skills that are in demand

"As industries embrace automation, there is a discernible shift in organisational structures, emphasising service-oriented value creation over traditional product-centric models."(Freddi,2017)

A reduction in the relationship between jobs and college education means traditional qualifications may not guarantee employment(Xue et al., 2022)

severance pay, retraining assistance, and job placement services

Incentives for businesses to invest in industries such as renewable energy, healthcare, and education

decline in demand for low-skilled labor --> declining wages for younger workerswidening gap in wages exacerbates income inequalities among young workers, particularly those with limited access to education and training opportunities.Beaudry, Green, and Sand (2016)

Uncertainty about the stability of employment due to AI --> stress and dissatisfaction among young workers.

noticeable shift in organisational structures towards service-oriented value creation.Industries like electronics manufacturing are transitioning from traditional product-centric models to service-oriented approaches.

AI technology has a very positive impact on Chinese manufacturing employment leading to a creativity edge." (Xian, 2022)

Entry-level positions traditionally held by young workers are being automated ---> heightened job insecurity in industries such as manufacturing and retail.Acemoglu and Restrepo (2019)

Tax policies, wealth redistribution mechanisms, and social welfare programs to address income inequality exacerbated by automation

Tax credits, grants, and subsidies for employee training, upskilling, and reskilling programs.

promoting transparency, accountability, and ethical use of AI help mitigate risks such as bias, discrimination, and job displacement
