Skills Trends in the Labor Market in the Context of the Changing Work Paradigm and Digital Transformations

This scientific endeavour addresses skills in the labour market in the context of the changing work paradigm and digital transformations. In recent years, significant changes have taken place in technological processes, which directly influence the content of work and the skills required of the workforce. Currently, in order for the workforce to be competitive in the labour market, it must develop in a multifaceted way, by acquiring both digital and soft skills. The accelerated development of digital technologies has led to the emergence of new skills specific to this field, which will be in greater demand in the labour market. In this context, there is a reconfiguration of the soft skills that employees must demonstrate in the workplace. Methodologically, the evolutionary analysis of skills in the labour market is based on reports from the World Economic Forum, which examines the evolution of jobs and future skills globally at five-year intervals. The findings show a change in the content of skills in the labour market as artificial intelligence systems and robots are implemented in the workplace. In the future, digital skills will be necessary in virtually all fields of activity, while soft skills are being reshaped to fit the new economic and social realities.
