After the robot revolution, what will be left for our children to do?
Jobs computers can't do have one thing in common – attentive, human qualities. According to Oxford university economists Dr Carl Frey and Dr Michael Osborne, 40% of all jobs are at risk of being lost to computers in the next two decades. Though much has been said about the jobs that will be lost, Frey points out that we don't know what type of new work automation will create. We have already seen a shift away from agriculture and manufacturing jobs; now as more jobs become automated in what Frey terms the "computer recession", we will see the disappearance of repetitive, low-skilled work, he says. "And we don't know specifically what new sectors will create jobs in the next decade or two."
