This was announced by SDU University professor, Fulbright scholar (USA), Doctor of Economic Sciences Bolat Tatibekov at a forum held in Kaskelen dedicated to the Year of Working Professions.

In his scientific report on “The Labor Market in the Context of Technological Development: Forecast for 2030,” he shared the results of research conducted by various scholars and spoke about the prospects that await us.

According to him, at the Dallas Economic Forum, which took place two weeks ago, the following figures were presented: by 2030, 170 million new jobs will appear in the labor market, while 92 million will disappear. Compared to today, global employment will increase by 14%.

Bolat Latifuly also explained that significant changes in the global labor market will be driven by digitalization and artificial intelligence. In particular, many intellectual professions will disappear, such as data entry operators, cashiers, ticket clerks, administrative assistants, and secretaries. However, big data analysts, fintech engineers, AI and machine learning specialists will be in high demand.

At the same time, the demand for physical labor and skilled trade professionals will remain high, as robots may be able to compose music, write poetry, and create artwork, but they will struggle to replace humans in performing physical tasks, as controlling “hands” and “feet” remains extremely complex.

The professor also shared the following data: in the future, 47% of tasks will be performed by humans, 22% by machines, and the remaining 31% through human-machine collaboration.
