The main new feature of our \u0000framework is that, in addition to the part of jobs that are displaced by \u0000automation, it also leads to the creation of new, more complex versions of \u0000existing tasks, which leads to the demand for employment. We focused more on \u0000the essential factor which is the degree of skill to take advantage of these \u0000new jobs. We carry out research based on information relating to automation and \u0000jobs. Also, by using the output of the final good model, we show that the \u0000creation of new tasks in which the labor has a comparative advantage is one of \u0000the positive aspects of automation. We find that automation will create new \u0000jobs (smart jobs) and eliminates repetitive jobs which will be replaced by \u0000machines in the future. However, these new jobs will need high skills. \u0000Therefore, the level and quality of education will play important role in the \u0000new jobs that automation will generate. Workers and future students must prepare \u0000themselves by focusing their training more on the skills that new technologies will require. Automation may prepare us \u0000for a future in which workers with low skills will be forced to change \u0000occupations or lose their occupations, which will be completely occupied by \u0000machines. We find also that the job loss \u0000depends on the speed of automation in each country. Based on the economic \u0000structure, the investment policy in new technology, and the level of education of countries, the speed at which automation \u0000spread is slower in some countries and intense in others. Therefore, the job is \u0000more at risk in countries with high automation than in those with medium \u0000or low automation.","PeriodicalId":411102,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Business and Management","volume":"15 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132238345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four hypotheses were \u0000tested to determine whether they could predict international African students’ \u0000perceived employability.

Thirdly, \u0000other production inputs such as fertilizer have a positive non-statically \u0000long-run effect on the maize productivity in Ghana. Based on these findings, we \u0000recommend that governments look into policy initiatives on the development of \u0000the maize industry. The policy initiatives should provide financial and \u0000non-financial incentives such as fertilizer and certified seed subsidies, complimentary service provisions on inputs, \u0000good agronomic practices.
