Young people fear losing their jobs to robots

Four out of 10 young people believe that machines will be able to do their jobs within a decade, an international survey published on Monday has found.

Nearly half of the young workers surveyed in Western countries said the education they received did not prepare them to do their jobs.

The skills gap is especially pronounced in Europe, according to a poll of 9,000 16- to 25-year-olds in nine of the world's biggest nations commissioned by the Indian business and software services firm Infosys.
