According to a recent survey, robots are expected to replace 800 million jobs worldwide by 2030, with developed nations being the most affected. The debate over whether automation will take over human labor has been ongoing for years, but the reality is that machines replacing workers is becoming an unavoidable trend.
The report from the McKinsey Global Institute highlights that robotic automation could impact one in five global workers by 2030. It analyzed over 800 occupations across 46 countries and found that industries like manufacturing and food service are likely to see the greatest job losses.
Developed countries, such as Germany and the United States, are more vulnerable than developing ones. In fact, one-third of the workforce in these nations may need re-skilling or retraining to adapt to the changing job market. In the U.S., between 39 million and 73 million jobs could be automated by 2030, but only around 20 million workers are expected to transition smoothly into new roles. This is partly due to limited investment in automation in developing countries, where the impact is much smaller. For instance, only about 9% of jobs in India are at risk of being replaced by robots.
Interestingly, jobs that require strong interpersonal skills—such as those of doctors, lawyers, teachers, and bartenders—are less likely to be taken over by machines. On the other hand, roles like horticultural work, pipeline cleaning, nursing, and hairdressing, while often low-paying, are relatively safer from automation. However, the report also suggests that the rise of robotic automation might create new opportunities, leading to the emergence of entirely new job categories in the future.
