The IMF analysis of job postings across 19 Asian countries shows labor demand fell about 10% in AI‑exposed sectors before stabilising, while demand for workers with AI skills is rising; basic coding jobs may be lost and a correction in the AI boom could hit Asia hardest, with India's large farm workforce potentially becoming vulnerable.
Why it matters
