    The first industrial revolution was that of the steam engine, the second one of electricity and assembly lines, the third one, that of computers started in 1960 and that nowadays drives the R + D + i triad (research, development and innovation). We are now entering the fourth revolution or revolution 4.0 based on digital technology, artificial intelligence, globalization and hyperconnectivity. This new context is changing not only our way of life but also of working. The place, the time, the type of task changes radically in the context of the 4th industrial revolution. The sociolabor scenario is currently facing important challenges: the aging of the population, a high level of unemployment and new sectors that will lead employment, but above all an exponential growth of the technology associated with robotization and the globalization of markets. This situation is causing important changes in the educational systems of the countries and in the organization of work in the companies. Because all, from the academic authorities, human resources consultants and national and international public administrations, raise an important reflection on the future of employment. This article contains some of the most important conclusions about this topic at national and international level.
