Arbeitsmarkt: Jugendforscher Albert: „Ich würde die Gen Z als ‚lost generation‘ bezeichnen“
Die KI-Umbrüche am Arbeitsmarkt treffen junge Menschen massiv, sagt Politikwissenschaftler Mathias Albert. Er warnt vor einer politischen Zeitbombe – und noch mehr Aufwind für die AfD.
Mathias Albert observes that today's young people have already experienced multiple upheavals: the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and now a job market reshaped by artificial intelligence. When considering this generation, Albert notes that Gen Z is not only "unsettled" but also "perspectiveless." He even goes so far as to describe them as "a lost generation" – a description that might seem quite bleak.
However, Albert acknowledges that we do not yet know exactly how the AI-driven job market will develop. There is also no widespread collective depression affecting an entire generation. Those with medium-level educational qualifications and vocational training are less concerned at the moment, as AI is unlikely to replace tasks like roofing or fixing a water pipe.
Nevertheless, Albert expresses concern about the behaviors exhibited by other young people, suggesting that their situation warrants attention.
