Activity 4

Name: _________________________

1)We have been witnessing the advent of Artificial Intelligence and its rapid proliferation as an intelligent machine in many applications from driverless cars, and much more. How is the lifestyle going to change as a result? What kind of impact people will see in the future?

2)Much has been discussed about the policy that best contributes to the incorporation into the labor market of young workers. In this discussion, I liked to focus the question on three points of view, higher education, vocational or professional training or the promotion by the governments of entrepreneurship and self-employment of young people. Regarding university education, during the last half century it has been seen as a tool for social mobility. However, many countries with high rates of university graduates have high levels of youth unemployment and important percentages of graduates work below their qualifications, while inequalities in the labor market grow. What is the best policy that contributes to the incorporation of young workers into the labor market?

3)In this age 21st century all kinds of skills, simple or sophisticated, need to be continuously updated and developed or else they will go obsolete, and that may render many people jobless, discouraged and poor. Could providing training courses for skills development lessen the problems of unemployment discouragement and poverty in developing countries?

4)Is Unemployment among fresh graduates in your country an issue now? Increase? Less opportunities? The skill and knowledge does not meet industries' expectation?

5)Will technological development, self-malting and robotization, IT, artificial intelligence, machine learning increase unemployment in the future?
