Abstract

This article examines the critical transformation of labor skills required to ensure sustainable population employment amidst the pervasive integration of smart technologies—Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced automation—into the global economy. The research focuses on analyzing the shift from traditional, task-specific occupational skills towards a new paradigm of adaptive, hybrid, and human-centric competencies. The central thesis posits that ensuring employment is no longer a function of preserving old jobs but of systematically fostering a workforce capable of continuous adaptation and symbiotic collaboration with intelligent systems. The analysis concludes with strategic recommendations for policymakers, educational institutions, and corporate leaders to collaboratively build an inclusive and responsive skills infrastructure capable of turning technological disruption into an opportunity for broad-based, dignified employment.
