What will work look like in 2034?
Let’s take a moment to look ahead to 2034 and consider some of the major trends that might shape our future. Forget flying cars—it’s more about the continued rise of the internet. Here’s a quick overview of how technology, society, and changing demographics are likely to impact the future of careers in broad terms. We believe it will unfold something like this:
1️⃣ KNOWLEDGE TRANSPARENCY WILL INCREASE.
Technology is making information and knowledge easier to access. Aggregating disparate expertise to solve problems will be in greatest demand.
2️⃣ NEW TECHNOLOGY WILL DEMAND NEW SKILLS.
It is easy to focus on the jobs under threat from AI rather than the new jobs created. The World Economic Forum has predicted that AI will replace 85 million jobs worldwide by 2025. But it believes AI will create 97 million new jobs in that same timeframe.
3️⃣ CYBER-SECURITY WILL BE AN EXISTENCIAL THREAT.
Consequently, there will be a growing need for skills to monitor, control, and hold bad actors to account.
4️⃣ AN AGING POPULATION WILL REQUIRE NEW SERVICES.
Western economies will see an explosion in elderly care needs over the next 20 years.
5️⃣ BARRIERS TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER.
Technology platforms will continue to create opportunities for GenZ to test new business concepts more easily and at less up front cost.
6️⃣ SUSTAINABLE ENERGY WILL BE PARAMOUNT.
We hear a lot about data being the new gold, so perhaps sustainable energy is the new oxygen. The latest technology only works when plugged in.
7️⃣ HUMANS WILL SEEK NEW WAYS TO BE ENTERTAINED.
There is a lighter side to the darkness some predict about technology. Humans are incredibly good at finding new ways to have fun.
🎯 Opportunities will benefit only to those capable to see them.
