Hybridization of jobs: digitalisation as a complementary tool for jobs
Abstract
Ideally, the education and training system offered by the private or public environment offer high flexibility in the labor market. However, forecasts of skills needed in the labor market in the future are not complementary to the current system, but rather substitutable in several respects (Akyazi et al., 2022). Although digitalization is seen as a singular process, separate from other sectors of activity, this process is not a uniform one in all economic sectors. There are people whose occupations place them in the high-risk category of people with a high probability of losing your job as a result of the digitalization process (Bhatnagar and Grosse, 2019). Thus, this paper focuses not on the individual side of the digitization process, but analyses the competitiveness of different scenarios within different sectors of activity (Heyman et al., 2021). Prior to a thorough research to determine which tasks and skills are most likely to take a certain category of labour out of the market, it is necessary to determine which areas are most likely to be affected by digitalisation in the near future, as well as what are the effects of people working in that field (Bhatnagar and Grosse, 2019). Digitalization can be seen either as an exogenous phenomenon for industries, which is why we must focus on changes specific to a certain segment, an approach specific to economic interests related to profitability (Peña-Casas et al., 2022). At the same time, it can be focused on the way of influencing a profession in particular, a specific approach to the social, human and professional side, a vision specific to social policies and humanistic orientations (Lilja, 2020).
