The World Economic Forum released its report on the future of work that revealed the five professions that are in decline in the world.
These professions are currently occupied by 673 million workers globally, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO).
- Bank tellers and related employees (40% decline);
- Postal service attendants (40%);
- Supermarket cashier and other types of retail (37%);
- Data typist (36%);
- Executive and administrative secretary (34%).
It is necessary to pay attention that the data typist is among the professions in decline. The professional is responsible for entering data into computer systems or electronic spreadsheets, organizing and classifying information according to specified criteria.
This study only reinforces that the accounting professional who is still focused on carrying out manual processes, when carrying out records and entries, will be left behind. The profession increasingly demands a more strategic role from the accountant, who can carry out financial reports and provide financial advice to companies.
On the other hand, the World Economic Forum released the five fastest growing professions in the world and which should expand in the coming years, they are:
- Specialist in machine learning and artificial intelligence (39% growth);
- Sustainability specialist (33%);
- Analista de business intelligence – BI (32%);
- Information security analyst (31%);
- Fintech engineer (31% growth).
Furthermore, according to the report, companies predict that 44% of workers’ key skills will be transformed by 2027, because technology is moving faster than companies can design and scale their training programs.
In this sense, the World Economic Forum also listed ten important professional skills in growth for workers and employers who want to stay ahead of the curve of change, in what is called reskilling.
- Analytical thinking;
- Creative thinking;
- Resilience, flexibility and agility;
- Motivation and self-awareness;
- Curiosity and “lifelong learning” (continuous learning);
- Technological literacy;
- Reliability and attention to detail;
- Empathy and active listening;
- Leadership and social influence;
- Quality control.
Cognitive skills top the list of most important skills for workers in 2023. Analytical thinking is considered a core skill by more companies than any other skill, accounting for an average of 9.1% of core skills reported by companies.
Creative thinking comes second, ahead of three self-efficacy skills: resilience, flexibility, and agility; motivation and self-awareness; and curiosity and lifelong learning – which recognize the importance of workers’ ability to adapt to disruptive workplaces.
