China has seen a significant increase in the number of skilled workers, particularly in fields like artificial intelligence and robotics.
However, there is a mismatch between the skills being produced and the demands of the job market, with some sectors having an oversupply of talents in outdated or non-relevant areas.
The rapid iteration in technology and the short shelf life of skills due to constant innovation pose challenges for workers to stay relevant.
To adapt to this changing landscape, individuals are encouraged to stack their skills, focus on meta-skills like learning how to learn, and choose fields that offer longer-term stability.
