Digitalization will radically change the world labor market, the president of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) Plamen Dimitrov said in the town of Pleven at a discussion named “The future of labor and the challenges in the digital era”. 56% of all jobs will be automated within 20 years. 70% of the employees must learn to work in a different manner, with other technologies and acquire new competences, BNR reports. Digitalization leads to decrease in labor demand. Meanwhile, the world population continues to increase. That is why a shorter working week may alleviate disproportion between the two trends, Plamen Dimitrov contends.
