The Future of Jobs 2025 report brings together the perspectives of more than 1,000 leading global employers, collectively representing more than 14 million of workers in 22 industrial sectors and 55 economies around the world. It examines how these macro trends influence the jobs, skills and workforce transformation strategies that employers plan to implement between 2025 and 2030.

  • Emerging technologies : Artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and automation are leading the transformation drivers.
  • Ecological transition : Demand is exploding for professions linked to renewable energies and sustainability.
  • Demographic dynamics : Aging populations in certain countries and demographic growth in others are reshaping labor needs.
  • Economic instabilities : Inflation and geoeconomic fragmentation create new opportunities but accentuate the risks.
  • New ways of working : Teleworking and hybrid models are gaining popularity, reinventing the expectations of employers and employees.

Booming professions

Based on this context, the report identifies several professions in strong growth:

  • Specialists in AI and machine learning : The most dynamic profession with expected growth of 30% by 2027.
  • Data Analysts and Cloud Engineers : Essential for managing and exploiting the growth of data.
  • Experts in green energy : From solar energy engineers to sustainable project managers, these professions will be at the heart of the ecological transition.
  • Cybersecurity professionals : Digital security is becoming a top priority.

Skills: the key asset

Nearly 40% of current skills will become obsolete by 2030. The most sought-after skills will include:

  • Analytical thinking : Ability to solve complex problems.
  • Resilience and adaptability : Essential in the face of rapid change.

With these changes, the job market is moving towards a complete overhaul. Adaptability, continuing education and innovation will be the drivers of a future where technological and ecological professions will dominate.

The “Future of Jobs 2025” does not just take stock of the situation: it offers a roadmap for navigating the upheavals to come and ensuring that everyone can benefit from these transformations.
