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, the speaker at the labor market discussion, highlighted the challenges faced by the current generation of young people. He noted that today's youth have already witnessed multiple upheavals, including the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and now a work environment increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI).
Albert observed that Gen Z is not just disheartened, but also lacks clear prospects for the future. He even went so far as to describe them as a "lost generation". This term struck him as quite grim.
While the long-term impact of AI on the labor market remains uncertain, Albert pointed out that there is evidence of concern among other young people. He noted that those with intermediate education qualifications and vocational training are less likely to be significantly affected. The reason for this is that AI is unlikely to take over tasks such as roofing or plumbing anytime soon. However, Albert's comments about the situation faced by other young people underscore the need for concern.
