SINGAPORE (Sept 27): Close to one in five Singaporeans are scared or nervous about the impact of technology on their jobs, making the city-state’s workforce the second-most anxious in the world about job security.

In a new report from PwC, ‘Upskilling Hopes & Fears’, Singaporeans came just behind France (20%) and tied with the UK (18%) in a survey spanning 22,000 adults across 11 countries worldwide.

In Singapore, more than half of the 2,000-plus adults surveyed said they were nervous or scared that technology would make their roles redundant, while more than one-third said they were worried that they wouldn’t have the right skills to weather through those changes.
