Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, announces the findings from the “Future of Jobs 2025” report. Chulalongkorn University is the only partner institution in Thailand to collaborate with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to propose a roadmap for coping with changes in the labour market over the 2025–2030 period. 

The report is based on a comprehensive survey of 1,000 employers, covering 14 million workers across 22 industries and 55 economies globally. The findings show that: 

• 170 million new jobs are expected to emerge, driven by technological change and the green transition. 
• 92 million jobs are predicted to disappear due to automation and economic transformations. 
• A net employment growth of 7%, equivalent to 78 million jobs globally.
