The National Assembly Futures Institute has called for research projects to predict the future of occupations in Korean society in 2050 according to rapid changes in science and technology and social changes and to discover and support future researchers in each field in 2018 and raise the public awareness of the future.
The seven occupations selected for this study are scientists at government-funded institutes, broadcast content producers, elementary and middle school teachers, farmers, medical practitioners, judges, and marketers. It is predicted that these occupations will go through quantitative and qualitative changes in the future that will be brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
