Čtvrtá průmyslová revoluce a koronavirová pandemie mění svět
The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the coronavirus pandemic are changing the world

Summary/Abstract: The changes underway as a result of the application of state-of-the-art technologies must be considered in the broader historical context and the serious long-term consequences that can be expected. While many hopes are associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there are also uncertainties. The nature of both work and labour relations will change, as will the roles of the state and local municipalities. It will lead to new life trajectories, for example it will be necessary to reconsider the concept of unemployment and to understand it as a period of preparation for a new profession and the protection of attained social status. This will impose entirely new demands on the social and education systems. Moreover, one must assume an increase in social polarisation and the risks associated with it. The dependence on modern technologies will also create new challenges and dangers. In this context, the coronavirus pandemic can be seen both as a brake and an accelerator.
