Technology impact on transformation of the labor markets and society sustainable development

Abstract

New technologies have an ambiguous impact on the labor market, therefore, the possibility of sustainable development of modern society in the context of a radical transformation of the nature and content of labor is today the subject of controversy among world scientists and experts. Technological innovations of the last century reduced to a minimum jobs in labor-intensive sectors of the economy (for example, in agriculture), contributed to an increase in labor productivity, which allowed developed countries to invest in high technologies. The current stage of technological development is of a stochastic nature - new sectors of the economy appear unexpectedly, but grow very rapidly. Given the unpredictability of short-term and Long-team demand in the world's labor markets, social instability in the world is growing. The article substantiates the need to adapt society to new technologies that replace human labor by developing cognitive competencies, creative abilities, and strategic thinking.
