  "account": "Mathias Albert, a labor market expert, has warned that today's young people, known as Generation Z, are facing an uncertain future. They have already experienced multiple upheavals, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and an increasingly automated job market driven by artificial intelligence. Albert describes Generation Z as not only being insecure but also lacking any sense of direction. He even goes as far as calling them \"the lost generation,\" an expression that he finds rather bleak.\n\nAlbert acknowledges that the long-term effects of AI on the job market are still unclear. However, there is a ray of hope for those with intermediate education and vocational training. These sectors are unlikely to be entirely replaced by AI, as tasks such as roofing and plumbing will always be in demand. The real cause for concern, according to Albert, lies in the struggles faced by other young people in the face of rapid technological change.",
