5G is expected to support transformational change across multiple industries: More efficient factories, smarter transportation, more holistic health and so on. Expectations are high, even if the exact path to such widespread shifts isn’t entirely clear.
But the increased digitalization and connectedness that 5G will enable has also prompted the question of how the transition to the next generation of wireless technology will impact humans — and more specifically, jobs. While 5G is widely expected to be an economic boom (hence the global “race” to dominate 5G development), that doesn’t necessarily mean that the economic benefits will be evenly distributed within a country or across jobs from top to bottom.
