VTV.vn - Economists have pointed out that low-skilled and unskilled workers are heavily affected by automation.

At the same time, older or under-skilled workers will also face the risk of losing their jobs. The United Nations estimates that 75% of the world's workforce could lose their jobs in the next few decades.

Factory workers, cashiers, taxi drivers, customer care staff and pilots all could face declining employment prospects. The five jobs unlikely to be replaced by robots any time in the near future are doctors, nurses, lawyers, journalists, researchers and farmers.
