Chapter 4: Confrontation Strategy for Evolution of Future Employment

Industry 4.0 refers to an era in which human work, creative activities and professional knowledge are largely replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) and robots. Due to the current exponential rate of technological development and the infinite expansion and generalisation of technologies, it is not difficult to predict that these technologies will spread at exponential rates and will spur massive changes in the adopted production, management and governance mechanisms and in the future employment market. Especially, employment changes are inevitable with the rise in automation and the job scope and prospects are bound to vary widely. In this chapter, confrontation strategies for employment in Industry 4.0 are proposed. It is hoped that this study will be able to provide an accurate direction for future employment and will be able to contribute to the study of employment policies and Industry 4.0.
