Will robots take our jobs?

A new report has found Australians' fear of robots stealing their jobs over the next few years has been unfounded.

The study into future workplace trends by Deloitte Access Economics suggests Australia's economy could be much better off by 2030 - as long as the workforce is able to change with technological growth.

Lead author Chris Richardson said advancements in technologies - such as robots - were simply changing the skills people needed in the workforce.

"We're much too scared, we think technology will lead to rising unemployment," he said.

"All of those are myths, none of them are true. What is true is that jobs are changing really fast."

The report found if the workforce is able to adapt and incorporate new skills and technology, it could boost the economy by $36 billion each year.

The need to incorporate technology into Australia's ever-changing workforce is a notion shared by Centre for Future Work's director Jim Stanford.
