Global trends and their impact on job creation

This bar chart shows the effect on job creation of the global trends that have been identified by
most respondents as driving the transformation of their organization. It is based on the responses
to the question, “Regarding the macrotrends likely or highly likely to drive transformation in your
organization, what is their expected impact on job creation in your organization?” of surveyed
companies that operate in the respective economy or region, compared with the global average. Net
effect is calculated by the share of respondents who view a trend as a net job creator minus the
share of respondents who view a trend as a net job displacer.
