For this back-to-school issue, broadcast in preview on the franceinfo website since October 21, then on France 2 on October 27, "L'Angle éco" looks at work, an occupation ... disappearance !
Supermarket cashiers are replaced by automatic kiosks, secretaries disappear from offices (104 jobs eliminated in ten years), new metros and buses no longer have a driver ... Now, all trades are affected. After the blue-collar workers, it's the white-collar workers' turn. Robots with artificial intelligence, software with almost unlimited computing capacities: digitization is upsetting all of our businesses.
Millions of jobs will be lost
While productivity per hour worked explodes in France (+ 759,3% in sixty-five years!), Experts and economists are formal: in the coming years, 40% of today's professions will have disappeared . Millions of jobs will be lost, in France and around the world. But new professions remain to be invented… and employees to be trained!
Should we be worried? Should we rejoice? Because with work, it is a form of suffering or alienation that disappears. At the start of this crucial election year, "L'Angle éco" looks at this work which worries the French so much, and explains why, little by little, it is disappearing!
In summary :
- Help ! My job disappears. Call center advisers, neighborhood photographers, secretaries… So many endangered professions. What do the employees think about it?
- More tires, fewer workers. For the past XNUMX years, Michelin factories have produced more tires with fewer workers. Will men disappear from factories? Or finally get rid of hard work?
- Stop the breakage. Unlimited productivity comes at a high price! Musculoskeletal disorders are more and more numerous and the spirits also crack…
- California, work in shambles. In this western American state, more than a third of workers are now "self-employed".
- Netherlands: work less to live more. One in two working Dutch people has chosen to work part-time. And surprise, companies are gaining in productivity and efficiency!
"L'Angle éco" also went to meet economists and business leaders: Jean-Dominique Senard, CEO of Michelin, Bernard Thibault, former secretary general of the CGT and member of the International Labor Organization, Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor to Bill Clinton and theorist of the digital revolution.
