DISCUSSION:
In 10 to 15 years, Gen Alpha will join the labor market, and this entrance will result in a spur of many new industry-specific professions. In the first place, they will be associated with technological development and fundamental changes in the production flow charts.
Gen Alpha, or children born after 2010, belong to the first generation of people who have been surrounded with digital technologies, Artificial Intelligence and automation means since their very birth.
Their strength can cause major success of the Russian industry of the future, but for this to come true, we have to start shaping the meanings and skills in this generation as early as today. At the same time, it is still quite difficult to say what characteristics Gen Alpha will possess when they join the labor market. They are too young today, and their teenage lives are too broad-ranged, so we really can’t reasonably deduce about how they will perform professionally. Social analyst Mark McCrindle insists that data about parents of Gen Alpha, which are Millennials, can help make forecasts on how these kids are going to be brought up.
That is why before talking about Gen Alpha we need to find out how parents are acting to promote their love for work and what meaning they assign to labor dynasties, families with the industrial past. Do they help their kids realise that industries are the cornerstone of the political, economical and military safety of the country? What are the good ways for shaping traditional and moral values in Gen Alpha and nurture their love for the Homeland?
