Modern transformation of the production structure and its impact on the content of labor and the requirements for the skills and abilities of workers

Abstract

The paper describes changes in the content and nature of work, which has occured in the sphere of labor and employment. Taking into account these changes, we determine the universal skills and abilities of workers which are important to master and develop in order to be competitive today. Universal competencies will allow workers to become more efficient in their jobs, and will help workers to be in demand while shifting between industries in the era of constant change and global competition.
