Copy linkThese Are the 10 Most Demanded Work Skills at the Moment
In its latest report “Future of Jobs” report, the World Economic Forum (WEF) presents the currently crucial skills, which will become vital in the coming years. The report is based on a survey of 803 companies in 27 industry clusters in 25 different economies.
Analytical and creative thinking have placed first in terms of what companies currently expect the most from workers. Self-efficacy skills, including resilience, flexibility and agility, motivation and self-awareness, curiosity and lifelong learning, round up the top 5.
This is the “recognition of the importance of workers’ ability to adapt to disrupted workplaces,” the report says.
The top 10 features only one tech-related skill, technological literacy, which placed sixth. AI and big data skills have placed 15th.
Emerging Skills
According to the WEF, further changes are expected in terms of the most demanded skills.
– Employers estimate that 44% of workers’ skills will be disrupted in the next five years – the report says.
Creative thinking is the skill that is expected to grow the most in importance, followed by analytical thinking and technological literacy. The latter is especially important, because technological development will be the key factor in the creation of new jobs and elimination of the existing ones.
AI and big data skills are seventh on the list, because the sector has been experiencing a boom lately, which causes concern about how fatal AI might be to the current job system. Soft skills such as curiosity and lifelong learning, as well as resilience, flexibility and agility, will also become increasingly important for workers, and they have placed fourth and fifth respectively.
At the other end of the scale, physical skills are among those that might be less important in the future.
– While respondents judged no skills to be in net decline, sizable minorities of companies judge reading, writing and mathematics; global citizenship; sensory-processing abilities; and manual dexterity, endurance and precision to be of declining importance for their workers – the report says.
