AI Job Displacement Affects Younger Workers
The prediction is largely confirmed, as recent articles highlight high youth unemployment, younger workers actively seeking AI-proof jobs, and the necessity for reskilling due to AI's impact on the labor market. While one article suggests the AI era isn't entirely negative, the prevailing evidence indicates AI is significantly affecting younger workers' employment prospects and requiring adaptation.
What would prove this wrong
Youth unemployment rates hold steady or decline over the period, or if labor data shows AI-related job losses are evenly spread across age groups rather than concentrated in younger workers.
