Industrial digitalization will significantly reduce employment in Germany
Abstract: the survey report of bitkom, a German IT Industry Association, on 500 enterprises in the industry, points out that at present, there are nearly 33million employees in the German IT industry who pay insurance and enjoy low-precision welfare benefits. If nearly 3.4 million jobs disappear by 2022, one in every 10 jobs will be affected now
according to the German voice, a research report shows that industrial digitalization will make a large number of jobs redundant in Germany. By 2022, nearly 3.4 million jobs may no longer exist
bitkom, the German IT Industry Association, pointed out in its survey report on 500 enterprises in the industry that there are nearly 33million employees in the German IT industry who pay insurance and enjoy welfare benefits. If nearly 3.4 million jobs disappear by 2022, one in every 10 jobs will be affected now. The report caused material stretching and deformation, which affected the printing results. It was also believed that in the future, one in four IT companies with more than 20 employees in Germany will be "self-sustaining", because the process of digitalization and the development of AI have made human operation more obsolete and redundant
the German IT Industry Association, for example, said that in the mid-1990s, there were 200000 jobs in the telecommunications industry, while 20 years later, there are only 20000 jobs in the same industry in Germany. Belk, chairman of the association, believes that due to the impact of digitalization, 90% of jobs in this industry will disappear in another 15 years
Belk said in an interview with Frankfurter Zeitung that due to the digitalization process, 90% of the jobs in the telecommunications industry in Germany have been lost. Next, the banking, insurance, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries may face the same fate. In 20 years, the number of types of work in these fields may be halved
Belk urged German politicians to take countermeasures as soon as possible. "At the world economic forum in Davos, almost every seminar focused on AI, while in Berlin, I haven't seen much news in this regard." He said
the common testing equipment for exterior wall insulation materials in this survey include: electronic universal testing machine for insulation materials, cutting device for insulation materials, on-site pull-out tester for exterior wall insulation materials, etc. the objects of the survey include 500 companies with more than 20 employees in Germany, of which a quarter of the companies believe that they are suffering from digital invasion
in addition, experts from Oxford University in the United States found through research that digitalization will also affect the machinery industry, and a large number of machines will be replaced by digitalization in the future. The results show that in all work fields, 47% of occupations will be replaced by computers in the future. However, this result was opposed by experts from the European Economic Research Center (ZEW) in Mannheim, Germany, who believed that digital progress would not completely replace labor, but would create more jobs. In addition, computers will only take over some jobs in the future, and will not pose a threat to all positions. At the same time, automation will indirectly create more manual jobs that have been used for 30 (40) years
