According to a study from last year by the World Economic Forum entitled The Future of Jobs, in the next five years 7.1 million jobs, mostly in administration and production, will be cancelled due to redundancy and automation.
This loss will be partially compensated by the creation of 2.1 million new jobs in specialised fields such as engineering, IT or business.
In other words, by 2020 more than five million jobs will have disappeared as a result of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution. That is also why the Fourth Industrial Revolution was one of the main topics of the World Economic Forum 2017 in Davos.
