Abstract
The globalisation and demographic processes, and the rapid rate of automation defining the new industrial revolution are fundamentally transforming the world of work, and the conditions and circumstances of employment. At the same time, digital transformation is not only changing the workplaces, but it is offering numerous opportunities, creating further scientific knowledge, and previously unknown industries and occupations. Finding answers to these challenges also requires the understanding of labour market trends, and preparing the existing and future workforce for how to adapt to change. Adaptation to the labour market enhances the role of lifelong learning and the accumulation of knowledge capital. It seems therefore appropriate to concentrate the available social and financial resources on education, training and the acquisition of digital skills.
