NEW DELHI: A large number of workers will lose jobs due to automation in the next two decades. A PwC study has detailed which workers (by education, age, gender, industry and country) will be hit by automation at which stage. The research analyses the tasks and skills involved in the jobs of over 200,000 workers across 29 countries in order to assess the potential impact of automation on workers in different industry sectors and of different genders, ages and education levels. Transport and manufacturing sectors have relatively high potential for job automation by the 2030s while health and education are less automatable. Education is a key factor driving risk of automation, with less well-educated men at highest risk in the long run.
