These jobs will go away by 2030

-
By 2030, up to 800 million employees could be displaced by automation and will need to find new jobs, according to a new report.

The study released on Friday by McKinsey Global Institute said that within the next 15 years, nearly 15 percent of the global workforce may need to switch jobs, with 75 million to 375 million workers changing occupation categories.

Millions of workers will have different jobs in the not-so-distant future, but their employment depends on how quickly they can adapt to advances in technology.

This shift in labour demand could be larger than anything that we’ve seen in the United States and Europe since the early 1900s when young workers left farms to go work in big cities, McKinsey outlines in its 160-pages of research.

By 2030, up to 9 per cent of labour demand will be in new types of occupations and analysts predict that there will be enough new job creation to offset automation.

However, it all depends on whether workers have the necessary skills to transition into these new roles.

So what jobs are likely to disappear by 2030?

Physically demanding jobs like fast food workers, or any work that requires processing data, such as accountants, according to the new study.

But there’s good news. Other jobs will still be in demand, particularly those revolving around new technology and human interaction.

What jobs are these?

Gardening and plumbing, or jobs that require working in unpredictable environments. Teaching, or jobs that require human interaction, will also continue to be in demand.

One fast-growing job is home healthcare. By 2030, there will be at least 300 million more people over the age of 65 globally, McKinsey predicts.

This opens job opportunities for 130 million workers globally in health care over the same time period. In the US alone, there could be a shortage of at least 350,000 paid care providers by 2040.

Another sector where McKinsey is projecting massive job growth are jobs related to new technology.

Overall, spending on tech is likely to increase by 50 percent in 15 years, which could create 20 to 50 million new jobs in both in-house and outsourced IT consulting.

Meanwhile, investments in renewable energy to combat climate change could lead to 20 million new jobs as well. DAJ/Expat Media

What has MCA done to the Chinese community in Malaysia?

We guess, many of you would be wondering why are we asking such question, “What has MCA done to the Chinese community in Malaysia?” Obviously, none of us would ever realize the real and terrible impact that MCA has made onto the Malaysian Chinese and if they were to see this, the definite question too would be, “done what?”, “don’t know”, “not aware”, “none of our business”, or even, “we don't want to know at all”. The inception of MCA in 1949 can be traced back from the origins of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) and its chapter in the then Malaya, which was famously known as Kuomintang Malaya (KMT Malaya). In aftermath of the Second World War and the defeat of the KMT forces in China in 1949, the KMT Malaya has began to move towards transforming its Malayan chapter into a local Chinese based organization in order to preserve its existence and long term political opportunity in this county. And this is how MCA was born in February 1949, where the party later teamed up...

Perlukah sesebuah gabungan parti politik kekal secara wajib?

Daripada keadaan politik dalam negara ini, kita telahpun dan sedang memerhati beberapa buah gabungan parti-parti politik yang terkini, iaitu Barisan Nasional (BN) yang kekal begitu lama dengan parti komponen utama Umno memonopoli semua aspek keputusan di dalam gabungan dan kerajaan yang diterajui oleh mereka. Di pihak Pakatan Rakyat (PR) pula ianya merupakan sebuah gabungan parti-parti pembangkang utama, PKR, DAP dan PAS yang bekerjasama secara longgar dan masing-masing mempunyai kedudukan yang setaraf di antara satu sama lain. Di tengah-tengah kancah cabar mencabar di antara BN dan PR, terdapat satu lagi alternatif yang kini sedang menonjol, Gabungan Kiri Malaysia (GKM) yang merangkumi gabungan parti politik bercampur dengan pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang kini dianggotai oleh Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), sebagai peneraju utama GKM, diikuti dengan Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM), Pusat Sejarah Rakyat dan Collective Intelligence serta beberapa individu yang te...

Japanese WW2 aggression in Asia: Japan should apologize

We all knew that during the Second World War (WW2) in the Asian continent, the Imperial Japan had aggressively used its military force to conquer many parts of Asia, particularly Korea, Manchuria, some parts of Eastern Russia and largely China. Japan's aggression was later expanded to many parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific theatre. During these aggression, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy were well-known for its atrocities against civilians. The most famous one was marked in the Nanking Massacre in 1937, when the Chinese Nationalist government's capital fell into the hands of the Imperial Japan. Millions of Chinese civilians, men and women, children, senior citizens, sick people, babies were systematically murdered, women and children were captured, raped and then slaughtered, many cities, counties and homes were torched which caused total destruction of much of China's population. Asides, the Japanese military aggression and atrocities had also expanded t...
