However, technology is also increasing access to digital disparities, competency gaps of social science graduates with industry needs. Employee recruitment will be reduced as automation, robotics use and flexible working systems increase. The limitations of mastering technology for the workforce in the village make it difficult for village youth to compete and get decent jobs. Both the private sector and the government should still prioritise the target of access to permanent employment for everyone because that is where human personal development (Vieronica Varbi Sununianti, 2019).
