In the next five years, the overall work scenario expects the increasing implementation of new technologies. Over 60 percent of the companies surveyed expect big data to create more jobs, while approximately ten percent expect it to displace jobs by 2027. These give this technology the job creation net effect of approximately 58 percent and places it as the top one job creator technology for the next five years. High on the ranking are also climate-change mitigation technology, environmental management technologies, encryption and cybersecurity, and biotechnology, with over 40 percent job creation net effect. With a negative net effect are the automation industry technologies of robots, humanoid and non-humanoid, on a average of minus five percent job creation net effect.
