** SEEDIG 5 survey results
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

In April, we launched an online survey to capture the perception of the community in South Eastern Europe and the neighbouring area (SEE+) on aspects related to the future of work in the context of the fourth industrial revolution and the region’s readiness for it. We have analysed the responses to the survey and the report is now published.

Among the key findings:
* Overall, there is a positive attitude towards the fourth industrial revolution and the impact of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation and robotics on the economy.
* According to more than half of the respondents, there will be a balance between jobs lost and jobs gained as a result of technological progress: 53% believe that technology will augment human performance, while 21% think that technology will replace humans in jobs.
* More than half of the respondents feel confident in their adaptability to the changes that advanced technologies will bring to the world of work. A quarter of the respondents expects new career possibilities from such changes.
* The majority of respondents declared to be comfortable with AI being integrated into the workplace. Only 12% responded that they would prefer to keep AI out of their work.
* Half of the respondents ‘somewhat agree’ that the skills they have now will not keep them safe in the future labour market. Only a few (3%) indicated the opposite.
* One of the biggest issues countries of the SEE+ region is facing is specialists in digital technologies leaving the country in search for better opportunities abroad.
* The majority of the respondents (55%) believe the educational system in their country is ‘not at all’ suitable for preparing children for the jobs of tomorrow.
* Potential measures for governments to mitigate the negative effects of technological progress on employment include working together with the industry to offer upskilling and reskilling opportunities to workers (54%) and supporting new economic sectors focused on soft skills (40%).
