The world of work is always changing, with career options and opportunity never static. We can traverse multiple careers<\/span> across a lifetime, and work across time zones and continents. Yet we need to find ways to keep our work relevant and meaningful. At Codemotion<\/span>, careers in tech are more than just a job<\/span>. Through work we can create the tech of the future and innovate in ways earlier generations never thought possible. As technology evolves exponentially, so does the world of work. We take a look back at some insights and predictions from our speakers:<\/p>\n

Work automation is real and unexpected<\/h2>\n

Agnieskzka Walorska, CEO of Creative Construction delivered a talk about the future of work. She shared stats revealing that  job<\/span> losses are coming:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 38% job<\/span> lost by 2030<\/li>\n
  • 47% by 2040<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What is distinct is that of these jobs<\/span>, the majority are performed by men<\/span>. She notes  traditionally female<\/span> roles have an emphasis on soft skills such as a secretary or personal assistant:<\/p>\n

     “Where there is a lot of unpredictable tasks and a lot of implicit knowledge. These roles  require more compassion and more empathy. That’s basically what machines are not really good at doing at the time. So what we might see in the years to come is an involuntary shift  in the division of labour because the male jobs<\/span>  which machines can do better than humans  are dying out. The typically female<\/span> jobs<\/span> are the jobs<\/span> that machine will probably not be able to do.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    This is not suggesting that these roles can only be carried out by women. Rather, they will require some men<\/span> whose roles are made obsolete to gain greater soft skills if they are to gain future employment<\/span>. Agnieskzka reveals that research into male unemployment<\/span> where women are the main provider has revealed an unexpected effect: when there is a 3.7% increase in male unemployment<\/span>, it leads to a  12% decrease in domestic abuse, surmising, ” when men<\/span> depend on women as a provider they will not be that eager to actually use violence use violence at home”.<\/p>\n
