Social sustainability and employment as a challenge of digital transformation: the new sixth digital sector of the economy
Abstract
This paper analyses the impact of the digital transformation on employment, starting from the changes that
technology is already bringing about in many jobs and professions. To do so, it starts from the basis of the epochal
change implied by the new digital era and advanced technologies, under the reference of the historical impact of
progress in its process of shifting the workforce from the primary to the secondary sector, with the industrial revolution
and now, from the tertiary service sector to a new sixth or digital sector. The new skills framework for jobs and the
literature on the impact of digitisation on the jobs of the future are discussed, with reference to the role of the
educational model as a vector of sustainability in employment and the opportunity of European funds for training in
digital skills in society.
