[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] It is projected that an additional 15.6 million digital workers will be needed in South Korea by 2025. Digital workers refer to those who possess the ability to apply digital technologies to their tasks.
The report titled "Digital Potential in the Asia-Pacific Region: Changing Digital Technology Demand and Policy Approaches," released on the 23rd by AlphaBeta, a strategy and economic consulting firm commissioned by the global cloud company Amazon Web Services (AWS), contains this information.
