At least 6 out of 10 people worldwide are likely to lose their jobs by 2025 as humans and machines will probably spend equal amounts of time at work, reveals a new report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The report was based on a survey of 32,000 workers conducted by the consulting giant PwC across 19 countries, Xinhua reported.

While nearly 40 per cent workers globally think they would lose their jobs in five years, 56 per cent feel that fewer people would obtain long-term employment in the future, the survey showed. More than 60 per cent demanded that governments must work to protect their jobs.
