Case Study: The Carers
By 2030, workers in health and wellbeing will, in the future, be more autonomous problem-solvers. The carers include surgeons, general practitioners, nurses, fitness instructors, social workers, childcare workers, aged care workers and counsellors. Caring professionals - people working in roles to improve health and wellbeing of others - have a high degree of transferable skills, meaning that training for one job in this professional field equips a worker with the skills for many other caring jobs.
Even though many caring professions are considered at low risk of being impacted by automation in the near future, their skills profile will change by 2030. Automation is set to reduce the amount of time people in caring professions spend on management and organisation. By 2030 they will likely spend less than 2 hours a week using their organisational skills (down 5 hours a week compared to today) and 9 hours a week using their management skills (4 hours less than today).
Carers will instead use more interpersonal skills (up 2 hours a week to 13 hours), more critical thinking (up 12 hours a week) and more problem solving (up 7 hours a week). By 2030, the jobs in health and wellbeing will be more collaborative, entrepreneurial, and intellectual.
