questions:
“Extrapolating from the figures shared in the Future of Jobs Survey 2020, employers expect that
by 2025, increasingly redundant roles will decline from being 15.4% of the workforce to 9%
(6.4% decline), and that emerging professions will grow from 7.8% to 13.5% (5.7% growth) of

labour between humans, machines, and algorithms, across the 15 industries and 26 economies
