The global technological transformation, the dynamic expansion of digitisation and automation, demographic changes, the COVID-19 pandemic and, in line with these, the increasing use of flexible and atypical forms of employment are fundamentally changing the future of work, and consequently the labour market expectations for individual jobs. Among the related labour market expectations, there is an increasing emphasis on so-called transversal skills, i.e. competences (e.g. autonomous learning, collaboration, critical thinking, digital competences, etc.), that allow for quick and flexible adaptation to the changing world of work. A survey conducted by the Digital Division of Századvég Konjunktúrakutató in the third quarter of 2022 and the first half of 2023 among employers and employees, as well as the general population, on expectations regarding future jobs revealed that, although with different emphases, both employers and employees in Hungary considered these skills to be the most important for future success.
