Automation of administrative tasks is anticipated to displace 15% of work activities, affecting millions of workers for example, the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that up to 400 million workers worldwide will need to transition to new roles or acquire new skills or risk losing their jobs by 2030. This challenge is more pronounced among the aging population where over 70% of adults rely on unstable informal sector, with only 15% having access to social protection systems, thus, the need for fostering an entrepreneurial mindset.
