Final project "Changing Nature of Work":
- 1. Final Project: Disrupting the agriculture and education workforce by the changing nature of work in India. Submitted by Pradeep Chimalapati
- 2. 2 Table of Content Changing Nature of work Disruption in Agriculture and Education field Proposed Disruption in Agriculture Sector Proposed Disruption in Education Sector Conclusion
- 3. Changing Nature of Work The jobs of the future would have the following key elements: • Emotional Intelligence(EQ): Human emotions are very complicated and delicate. Scenarios involving human interactions, empathy etc. cannot be automated or is not something that AI can handle. • Creativity: AI can replicate existing work, but it cannot create something new. AI needs reference points, and it can alter various parameters. Expressive fields like music, writing, art, design etc. cannot be disrupted with new technology. New technology can aid it to make it more effective. • STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education: STEM education will be essential in the job market as the most affected job sector is unskilled labour. New Technology means AI, robots, automation. This scenario creates jobs for technical/skilled technicians, engineers and managers who would be required to build, validate, quality control and maintain the tasks performed by the new technological innovations.
- 4. Disruption in Agriculture and Education field • The 2019 World Development Report tells us how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. • 59% of India’s population depends on Agriculture as their Primary source of livelihood. Increase in mouths to feed but decrease in hands to cultivate. • The changing nature of work has significant implications for education and skilling. Demand for cognitive skills has increased, the supply of these skills seems to be lacking behind. • How can the new technology “Disrupt” these sectors?
- 5. Disruption in Agricultural Sector
- 6. Disruption in Agricultural Sector 1. Give subsidies to farmers to implement Smart farming so using AI we can predict when to do what for best output. 2. Make it mandatory for STEM related students to do one project on agriculture sector and do a real time implementation in one of the farmlands. This would generate interest in the students on agriculture and also the farmers will benefit from the latest technological innovations. 3. Special Social protection and labour policies for any failure of crop so that suicidal cases can be minimized. 4. Innovative solutions to get Markets directly to the farmers Suggestion on Disruption:
- 7. Disruption in Agricultural Sector 1. Farmers migrating to urban areas for alternative work because of failure in agriculture due to various reasons. 2. Increasing mouths to feed; reducing hands to cultivate 3. Can technology reverse the outflow of the farmers? 4. Do we have to eat synthetic food in the near future?
- 8. Disruption in Education Sector
- 9. Disruption in Education Sector • 56% of employers in India face difficulties in filling job vacancies due to skill and talent shortage (Manpower Group, 2018). If not addressed urgently, skill shortage can be fatal for economic growth. • Employers in India frequently argue that youth, even with graduate degrees, are not employable • Demand for cognitive skills is expected to increase further in the years to come, the government should focus more on the quality of education, particularly schooling, to address the issue of growing skill shortage • Can technology help fix the above issues?
- 10. Disruption in Education Sector • Learning should start from preprimary education, from kindergarten itself. Start with soft skills, STEM • Implement a national grid connecting all the schools (Govt. or Private) in the country so that the progress of any child can be tracked as well as contribute to “Human Capital Index” • Layout policies to strengthen the infrastructure, connectivity etc. Suggestion on Disruption:
- 11. Disruption in Education Sector • Create industry ready tailor fit programs to incubate fresh grads ready for various industry segments. • Create a Human resource development fund, private-public partnership, which can be utilized to cross skill the current staff which needs to be upskilled for future technologies. Suggestion on Disruption:
- 12. Conclusion • Agriculture and education form the foundation of human society. Technological advancements must be anticipated within these sectors to focus on re-shaping and re- defining them to prepare for the future
