5G: What changes in the job market with new technology

The arrival of 5G in Brazil is already moving companies, educational institutions and the healthcare area. The labor market will be revolutionized with the improvement in speed, productivity and the arrival of new professions.

The impacts of technology with artificial intelligence, for example, are expected to change 30 million jobs worldwide, with 85% of the new jobs being different from those that exist today.

The new 5G-powered job market should be fully operational in 11 years, and of the R$400 billion that will be invested in digitization over the next ten years, 40% will be earmarked for implementing the new internet.

“Today the investment being made is in infrastructure and this will generate many direct jobs, with specialized labor. In the long term, 5G will bring many benefits, not only in the creation of direct labor, but also indirect, which are the developers”, says the professor of technology at FIAP, Gustavo Torrente.

In the healthcare field, for example, surgical operations will be increasingly performed using robots.

“There is a lot of talk about virtual reality, and people think it would be just for entertainment, but no. Virtual reality is present inside a classroom. Just imagine a medical student being able to explain an organ practically live. Go inside a lung, operate on an eye, all from a distance. You could be in São Paulo being operated on by a doctor in London”, says Torrente.

Today, only 8% of smartphones in Brazil are enabled to receive 5G, but as device manufacturers adapt their products, the trend is that cell phones that allow the technology become cheaper, says the business director of Facens , Ellis Menasce.

In the analysis of the president of Ericsson, Rodrigo Dienstmann, implementation throughout the territory should take place six years from now. “The capitals must be covered by July 2022 and there is a gradual investment rule in larger cities and even smaller ones until 2028. We believe that investments will start immediately in the networks”, he points out.
