Opportunity and Challenge: The Impact of Emerging Technologies on Employment in Southeast Asia

Abstract

Innovation is an important driving force for national economic development, and emerging technologies have an important impact on social life. Southeast Asia has an important geographical location, huge development potential, extensive cooperation with neighboring countries, and a broad job market. Emerging technologies have a huge and profound impact on the employment situation here. In the short term, the application of emerging technologies will reduce some job opportunities and increase the costs of human resource, by the way posing certain challenges to social stability; but in the long term, it will inject more vitality into the development of productivity, and optimize and upgrade the job market in Southeast Asia. It could become an important opportunity to promote social progress.
