Robots are becoming more common in many parts of the world, including Singapore. While Singapore is moving forward, some people are losing their jobs to robots, but new jobs are also being created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jobs that involve doing the same things over and over, like clerks and machine operators, are the ones most at risk of being taken by robots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jobs that need creativity or a personal touch, like managers, people who help clients, physiotherapists, or creative jobs, are safer from automation. At least for now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Singapore, people will need to keep learning new things to stay competitive in the job market as the economy changes. To help with this, the government started the SkillsFuture program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal, as Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said in 2016, is to help people learn skills that won’t become outdated and be ready for changes in the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number of mid-level jobs like clerks and machine operators may have fallen between 2001 and 2012 but the proportion of managerial jobs registered a rise during the same period. The salaries of managers also increased. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The implication is that while automation is taking over middle-rung jobs, in office and on the shop floor, the number of people required to manage expanding business operations as a result of greater productivity due to automation is on the rise.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n With cybercrime becoming a genuine threat for companies around the world, the role of cyber security specialists is going to become increasingly important in future. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Large amounts of sensitive data are stored on clouds, servers and computer systems, leaving them vulnerable to leaks and sabotage. This is where cyber security professionals come in. They employ their skills to protect company data from virus, hackers, malware and phishing. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
