Good Day, Lucien. My advice is to have a look at the following recent studies:

The ‘Future of Employment’ study estimates 47% of the current US employment to be still at risk due to recent technological breakthroughs able to turn previously non-routine tasks into well-defined problems susceptible to computerization; the impact varies according to the 702 analyzed occupations (Frey & Osborne, 2013). In following up on the computerization of European jobs, Bowles’ calculations estimate impacts of new technology onto old areas of employment to range from around 45% of the labor force being affected to well over 60% across the EU-28 countries, with countries on the periphery of the EU most at risk. An impact of this magnitude would necessitate a reallocation of workers towards tasks less susceptible with the likely prioritization of creative and social intelligence. Such a restructuring of the European human capital “is a prospectively painful process and it seems evident that education systems will have to adapt [even further] to meet this challenge” (Bowles, 2014, based on Frey & Osborne, ILO, and EU Labor Force Survey figures).

Good day Ulrich,

I just had a quick scan and it seems to give a good insight in the transformation  from job perspective.

Quite important dimension, that has impact on the entire scenario.

Will use some time to study deeper , thanks.

Hi Lucian, maybe you know them, but here are two McKinsey articles which I found quite insightful (suprisingly not that superficial as one would expect from MK)...

Hi Lucian,

I hope this will help you.
