Globally, the job market is projected to shrink by 23 per cent, with 69 million new jobs expected to be created and 83 million job losses by 2027, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has said in its latest Future of Jobs report.
Nearly a quarter of jobs (23 per cent) are expected to change over the next five years through 10.2 per cent growth and 12.3 per cent decline (globally), the WEF said.
