The Future of Work
Although we cannot predict what the future of work will be there are a number of key factors that you should keep in mind:

1. Technology is developing at an exponential rate. Robots replacing human labour is occurring not just in autonomous vehicles and food preparation but with Artificial Intelligence will spread to many other professions previously thought of as the domain of humans.

2. Climate Change is forcing an immediate switch to a low-carbon economy, and a drive toward sustainable and renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. Your daily and working lives will be impacted by this in what you do for work, but also how you do it, where you do it, and how you get there.

3. Demographics are changing. The turn of the century saw the birth of the first digital natives who have grown up in a truly connected and global society where a ‘job for life’ is a thing of the past. As people live longer you will also see working age increase and more generations working alongside one another. Work needs to provide more than just a wage and provide personal and spiritual fulfilment.
