- Description
- This chapter will explore the overall demographic, economic and key labour market challenges and opportunities within the Australian economy in the light of the trends associated with the onset of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and its impacts on the future of work. The chapter will first address labour market challenges for the Australian economy, including the growth industries and social and demographic issues, prior to focusing on three key sectors – healthcare; information and communications technology (ICT); and tourism and hospitality. The impact of key trends and technological advances including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, machine learning and nanotechnology on these industry sectors will be explored, with particular attention paid to the implications for labour markets, workforces, jobs and skills. This will be followed by the presentation of data from an online survey distributed with the support of the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI) which invited senior human resource managers and professionals from a range of industry sectors, including the key sectors mentioned earlier. As in other chapters in this book, survey respondents were asked questions on the nature, characteristics, implications and planning required to manage the actual and potential impacts of the 4IR and relationships between technology adoption and organisational performance. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the key issues and implications of these trends and the related issues for governments, labour market planners and human resource practitioners.
