Abstract

The era of digital transformation (or the fourth industrial revolution) has been triggered by the rapid development of software (SW) technologies. In this era, several studies suspected rapid changes in job structures occurring around the world. Thus, there is a growing need for acquiring the skill sets required for the future. However, there are no specific studies on how existing jobs are changing. To cope with this ambiguity of job changes, this paper aims to investigate how the current job structure is changing in response to digital transformation. To identify the dynamic nature of job change over time, we conducted an analysis based on job posting data. As a result, nine job occupations and fifteen jobs were found.
