Singapore

JOB functions that are labour intensive and require little human judgment are at "immediate risk" of displacement due to technological advances and global competition, says National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) assistant secretary-general Patrick Tay.

In a blog post highlighting disruption in the accountancy sector, he warned that those in admin and data entry, transactions processing or bookkeeping could be at risk.
