While it's perhaps prudent to take many of the doomsday predictions about the looming technological decimation of the labor market with a large pinch of salt, it is almost certain that whatever disruption does emerge will affect those in the most precarious position more than anyone. A recent report from the innovation group Nesta suggests that there are six million people in the U.K. who are in such a precarious position, and they caution that without assistance, these people will be stuck in a cycle of either low-pay and insecure employment or forced out of the workforce entirely. "The problem is that many people who are in low-paid work - or who aren't working at all - aren't able to access the information they need to plan for the future or the relevant training they need to gain new skills," the authors say. "They also tend to work in places and industries that are likely to lose out over the next decade, making it harder than ever for them to access good jobs." The challenge is compounded by the fact that those who are most at risk of disruption are also those least engaged with training and education.
